5th International Technology Transfer Days

BIOMATERIAL 2009

The "5th International Technology Transfer Days BIOMATERIAL 2009" will be held as the Final Conference of "INCOMAT", a specific support action financed by the EC. One of the main tasks of INCOMAT is to identify where biomedical research could make a significant impact on the quality of life of all European Citizens whereby the main focus is on those of Western Balkan Countries (WBC) and Newly Independent States (NIS). On one hand the event enables participants from Eastern Europe countries to gain access to the EU market, and on the other hand the EU biomaterial scene to identify new unused scientific resources and treasures in the NIS and WBC countries. In this context the most important objective of the "5th International Technology Transfer Days BIOMATERIAL 2009" is to identify the scientific areas where "cutting-edge" developments could provide the supportive technology platform for innovative implants for hard tissue applications.

For this reason the event is focused on the following thematic aspects, whereby each of them will be covered by a keynote lecture:

• Future of scaffold fabrication for Bone Tissue Engineering
  Prof. W. Bonfield, UK
• Biomimetic ECM analogue coatings
  Prof. R. Bizios, US
• Perspectives of advanced In-vitro testing
  Prof. J. Kirkpatrick, D
• Consequences for Quality assurance and product certification
  Dr. J. van Loon, NL

Moreover, a brokerage event will be enclosed in the “5th International Technology Transfer Days BIOMATERIAL 2009”. Based on thematic technology profiles (offers and requests) dealing with the above given fields and summarized in an online catalogue - each participant can choose potential partners to get in contact with them in half-hourly meetings according to pre-planned schedules. Knowing from a meanwhile long-term experience of the International Technology Transfer Days BIOMATERIAL (starting in 1998) this should be the most efficient way to get connected with new successful cooperations between suppliers and users in the fields of BONE CONTACT, BONE REPLACEMENT, BONE AUGMENTATION and BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING especially between Europe and WBC as well as NIS!

As in the last 10 years approximately 150 participants from 10 and more countries are expected to participate in the International Technology Transfer Days BIOMATERIAL in February 2009. Parallel to the event an exhibition and poster session will be organized within the congress centre located in the medieval city of Erfurt.
