For Authors

The DGBMT Annual Meeting is one of the most important conferences of medical technology research. We expect more than 500 participants and about 400 papers on different topics of medical technology. The BMT is characterized by a broad spectrum of topics that covers almost all areas of innovative medical technology and related fields. The BMT offers an excellent forum, especially for establishing contacts with researchers and developers in biomedical engineering from universities, research institutes, companies, and clinics. In addition, the BMT promotes young professionals. Every year, around 200 students, PhD students and young researchers come to start their scientific and professional careers. Interaction on site and the networking of experts are an important aspect of the conference.

Authors are invited to submit either a structured abstract or a full conference paper.

Abstracts should have approximately 300 words, maximum 1 page. The abstract will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, published online in a supplement issue of the journal “Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik” by De Gruyter (publicly accessible).

Conference papers should be compromise at least 2 and must not exceed 4 pages. The conference papers will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, published online in the journal “Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering” by De Gruyter (open access).

Both, abstracts and conference papers must be submitted by 18 April 2024.

Attention:

• The use of the templates in the download section is mandatory.
• Both, abstracts and conference papers have to be submitted in English and will be accepted only if the template format (Word, LaTeX) was used accurately.
• No editorial or layout changes can be done by the publisher after publication. By submitting your abstract and paper you accept the terms of the respective copyright agreement.
• Abstracts and papers have to be uploaded as PDF in the download section - "Abstract + Paper submission"

We invite DGBMT student members to present the results of their research projects or theses. The top conference paper submissions will be invited to present at the BMT conference in a finalist session. The highest-rated contributions will be awarded prestigious monetary prizes, and all finalists will receive certificates.

To enter the student paper competition, students need to be registered at a university, be younger than 30 years old, be a member of DGBMT (free in the first year), and submit a full 2-4 page conference paper (an abstract is not sufficient). With the submission they must also include the application form  (available in the download section) which requires the endorsement of a faculty at the home institution (signature/stamp needed!). All documents must be submitted by the regular paper submission deadline. Please ensure to mark the checkbox for the student competition during submission. Detailed regulations can be found following the link below.

Contributions will undergo the same peer review process and will additionally be evaluated based on scientific quality, structure, clarity, presentation of results, and degree of innovation. Presentations/posters of the finalists will be evaluated based on content, presentation style, and discussion.
