Next spring the Medical Cluster and the RMS Foundation in cooperation with the Swiss Society for Surface Technology SGO-SST, will bring the fourth edition of the event [MEET THE EXPERT] Material and Surface Technology for Implants to the market.

This event will take place on April 23-24, 2012 at the Congress Centre Kursaal Interlaken. The goal of the conference is to offer a platform for discussion and knowledge transfer between individuals active in the implant field.
Subject of the conference The focus on the 2012 conference will be on implants surfaces. The programme will be divided into the following sub-topics:
- Physical and chemical surface modifications
- Biological interactions of implants surfaces
- Process validation and regulatories
- Clinical aspects of implants surfaces
Call for paper In addition to keynote lectures, short presentations (15 min.) of current projects from select companies will be given and discussed. To ensure a broad range of topics and presenters, the organisers would like to invite Eurotec’s reader to submit an abstract for one of the select short presentations. The deadline for abstract submission is 31st January 2012. Information can be found on online. Registration is fast and can be completed online too at www.medical-cluster.ch/events
The 2012 event will include both the established tabletop exhibition plus real-time translation of talks from German and French to English.
