2. FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of NMPEC-2016 organizing committee, we are pleased to announce the XII-th National
Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering Conference-NMPEC, and anniversary session "45 years
Bulgarian Society of Biomedical Physics and Engineering - 45 years of excellence" which will be held in
Sofia from 3 to 5 November 2016 with the cooperation of the Union of physicists in Bulgaria, Bulgarian
Association of Radiology and The Bulgarian Biochemical, Biophysical and Molecular Biology Society.
A major role of this forum in the community of medical physicists, biophysicists and engineers to
join together and exchange experiences with their counterparts from countries in the Balkans, Europe
and the rest of the world and to provide them with an inspiring environment and to determine common
targets for new collaborations.
This joint international conference of high scientific value will provide a unique opportunity for
medical physicists, engineers and specialists from other scientific fields to share experiences and
exchange knowledge on a wide range of topics related to both classic biomedical sciences, biophysics and
engineering, and as representatives of the academic communities in Bulgaria and abroad. One of the
highlights of NMPEC-2016 will be the theme of education, training, qualification and realization of young
professionals the discussion of the evaluation criteria of teaching specialists in the field of biomedical
sciences.
Another point of interest NMPEC-2016 is link between a leading recognized experts to discuss
contemporary science and to meet the challenges in the rapidly changing world of Medical Physics and
Biomedical Engineering as an integral element of health.
Specially invited speakers will present new concepts and perspectives on the role and contribution
of the Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in the development of modern medicine.
Moreover by our scientific program, we hope that you will enjoy the sights and archaeological
sites in Sofia and the region's rich cultural program provided within the frame of this forum.
