IEEE EMBS International Conference on Data Science and Engineering in Healthcare, Medicine & Biology
Portomaso, St. Julians, Malta Portomaso, St. Julians, Malta
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society provides a variety of conferences, workshops and professional development experiences, both face-to-face and online, that address the networking and learning needs of the biomedical engineering community.
EMBS events, conferences and professional development programs deliver both forward-thinking innovation and exploration as well as practical, tangible advances and research to address challenges and identify opportunities in biomedical engineering.
The annual IEEE International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference unites the best thinking and cutting-edge research and discovery in biomedical engineering.
EMBS sponsors multiple, scientific conferences throughout the year. EMBS Conferences provide an opportunity for members and non-members to present and share research information, receive feedback, create networking and employment opportunities and learn about the emerging technologies that will influence future advances in biomedical engineering and healthcare technology.
A major goal of all EMBS conferences is to host a diverse event that ensures opportunity for all to learn/engage with others, present their research in a challenging, but supportive and encouraging environment and network/collaborate with scientific colleagues.
EMBS accepts the following types of manuscripts for the conference:
EMBS supports and executes a stringent paper review process for all conferences. Each manuscript receives a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 reviews. Plagiarism software is used in the review process and there is an expectation for authors to accept IEEE and EMB Ethic conditions and all ethical requirements as recommended by NIH and funding institutions.
EMBC, the annual conference of the Society is designed as a general topic conference with multiple technical themes. It follows the same stringent paper review process as Special Topic Conferences but has a higher acceptance rate. EMBC has an additional goal of the conference to develop the next generation of Biomedical Engineers and Electrical Engineers working in Bio. We have a vibrant student and young professional (post grad) participation in the General Conference. Average attendance is 3000. Attendees range from high school students to senior industry and academic researchers.
EMB Special Topic Conferences are designed to create a high quality, technological event with leading technology experts. Their paper review is more stringent and has a lower acceptance rate. Average attendance is 800. Attendees range from graduate students to senior industry and academic researchers.
All EMBS Conference Proceedings are published in IEEE Xplore®, a digital library of the IEEE.
Additionally, several Conference Proceedings of EMBS Conferences are indexed in Medline/PUBmed, Elsevier (Compendex, ScienceDirect and Scopus), Google Scholar, INSPEC, CiteSeerX and Web of Science.
EMBS also co-sponsors events with other IEEE Societies.
Many of EMB volunteers participate in Conferences not sponsored by EMBS. At times, EMBS receives requests to technically co-sponsor these events. The Society will consider these requests if EMBS members are actively engaged in the event.
A request can be made for technical co-sponsorship by conferences with subject content aligned with EMB’s field of interest and can demonstrate significant participation by EMB members in the Program organization of the event.
For an existing conference publication to be considered for EMB acquisition, there must be an archive of more than one past proceedings made available to EMBS for qualitative evaluation. First time events will not be considered for acquisition.
As a Technical Co-sponsor, IEEE EMBS requires the following items:
To verify this information, a detailed description of the paper submission and review process must be submitted to the EMB Executive Office. The review process and the submitted past publications will be reviewed by EMB VP Conferences. Please include a Call for Papers if one is available. IEEE EMBS will not authorize any publication acquisition for IEEE Xplore until these requirements can be verified.
All IEEE fees associated with acquiring the Conference Proceedings for a technically co-sponsored conference will be the responsibility of the conference.
As of April 2020, IEEE administrative fees for Conference Technical Co-sponsorship are:
IEEE EMBS will not have any financial involvement and will be limited to participating as a Technical Co-sponsor and the use of IEEE EMBS in the title of the Conference is prohibited. IEEE EMBS reserves the right at any time to revoke technical co-sponsorship with a cause.
As a Technical Co-sponsor to IEEE EMBS the Conference must:
As a technical co-sponsor of the conference, IEEE EMBS will provide the following:
Note: IEEE EMBS will not technically co-sponsor a conference if it falls within a month (either side) of our Annual International Conference or a month (either side) of one of our Special Topic Conferences.
