One of the largest gatherings of medical physicists and biomedical engineers in the world is the IUPESM WORLD CONGRESS ON MEDICAL PHYSICS AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING (IUPESM WC), which is organized by the International Union for Physical and Engineering Science in Medicine (IUPESM).
This is a unique platform focused on multidisciplinary discussions, innovations and collaborations in engineering, physical, biological and medical sciences – on an international scale. Last year, it was held from 12 June 17 June 2022 in Singapore, first ever in Southeast Asia. Due to ongoing Covid 19 pandemic restrictions, the IUPESM WC 2022 was organized in HYBRID mode.
The six-days scientific programme was comprised with a variety of insightful sessions including awardees speech, plenary and keynote speaker sessions on 24 key themes and topics. The congress lecture was delivered by Prof. Sir K. S. Novoselov, Nobel Laurate in Physics (2010). In this IUPESM WC 2022, there were 8 Plenary Speakers, 34 Keynote Speakers, 190 Invited Speakers, 20 Educational Sessions, 75 Posters, 15 Awards, Challenges and Competitions, and 56 business meetings. More than 800 participants from 71 counties and regions were joined the congress in-person and online.
Due to pandemic, the participants and exhibitors were very less than expected, which impacted organizer’s budget significantly.
