Participation: Representatives of European Biomedical Engineering programmes, professional societies, decision makers at a national and European level interested in biomedical/clinical engineering education and BME students.

Participants are expected to supply the organisers of the meeting with their comments to the documents they will receive prior to the meeting to enable the organisers to prepare a summary of opinions which will be the basis for the discussions at the workshops.

Participants are invited to bring a poster (90cm wide, 120 cm high) describing their BME/CE programmes and/or the status of quality assurance and accreditation, training, certification and continuing education in their universities, societies and countries. In order to reserve the necessary space, posters must be announced to the local organisers.
