World Biomaterials Societies
The European Society for Biomaterials became a member of The International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Sciences and Engineering (IUS-BSE) at its conception in 1979.
The International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE) is a body that brings together national and multi-national groups dedicated to the advancement of biomaterials, surgical implants, prosthetics, artificial organs, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
The other member societies of IUS-BSE, are:
