Dear Biomch-L readers,

Today I received a first official announcement from the Second World Congress
of Biomechanics office. I think that the following information will be
interesting for most of our subscribers.

                     First   Announcement

             SECOND  WORLD  CONGRESS  OF  BIOMECHANICS

                     in conjunction with

        9th Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics
                              &
 8th International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology

                       July 10-15, 1994
                  Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Following the First Congress of Biomechanics in San Diego, 1990, the Second
World congress will be held in Amsterdam, July 1994. As the first one,
this Congress was initiated by the World Committee for Biomechanics and
monitored by an International Steering Committee, consisting of experts
from all biomechanics related fields and from all parts of the world.
The Congress is patronized or sponsored by the American (ASB), European (ESB)
and International (ISB) Societies of Biomechanics, the Society for
Biomaterials, the International Committee on Mechanics in Medicine and
Biology (ICMMB), the International Society of Biorheology, the Cardiovascular
System Dynamics Society, the US National Committee of Biomechanics and
others. The 9th Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics and the 8th
International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology are merged
with this Second World Congress of Biomechanics.

The congress will include plenary lectures, society-sponsored symposia,
tutorials, free papers and posters in a five-day program.
The satellite meetings, pre and post congresses are planned by some of the
sponsoring societies.
