Dear Colleagues,

Following the success and positive feedback from the Second Summer School on Emerging Technologies in Biomedicine, held two years ago, we are pleased to announce the organization of the 3rd Summer School that will take place between July 2^nd-7^th 2006 in Patras, Greece. The Summer School is combined with the 5th European Symposium on Biomedical Engineering which will take place immediately after, on July 7^th, 8^th and 9^th 2006.

The field of Biomedicine and the techniques associated with it, is experiencing explosive growth. The aim of the Summer School on Emerging Technologies in Biomedicine organized every two years is to inform young students and future scientists about the latest trends in the field. This year's scientific program covers advanced topics in many diverse areas from genomics to wearable biosensors and brain research.  The Summer School will give the opportunity to its participants to communicate with experts in these fields and exchange ideas. They may also discover new areas of scientific interest towards their career.

The venue of the 3rd Summer School will be the Congress Centre of the University of Patras, situated in the middle of the campus, providing easy access to the university buildings and facilities (University library, restaurant, faculties, etc.) being in the same time within walking distance from the Rio city and seaside.

The high level of scientific presentations combined with the warm traditional Greek hospitality and the many  social events organized in Patras - Cultural Capital of Europe 2006 - will make this Summer School  an enriching and pleasant experience for both speakers and students.

Sincerely,

The Organizers
