Who We Are

The international conference connecting science, technology, and healthcare in Southeast Europe since 2015.

“Bridging science, technology and society, one discovery at a time.

CMBEBIH is the leading international conference on Medical and Biological Engineering in Southeast Europe. Since 2015, it has served as the essential meeting point where cutting-edge research meets real-world healthcare needs.

Organised by the Bosnia and Herzegovina Medical and Biological Engineering Society, every edition brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers united by a single goal: turning innovation into impact.

From biosensors to AI-driven diagnostics, from tissue engineering to sustainable healthcare systems, CMBEBIH covers the full spectrum of biomedical engineering, always with one eye on what it means for patients and societies.
