ECM Conference Awards

The student award gives young scientists recognition of their scientific performance (both the work and presentation of results), which can be documented in their curriculum vitae. These awards have been gratefully sponsored for the ECM meetings by the Robert Mathys Foundation.

ECM Journal

ECM provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for publication and discussion for researchers in the following fields:

Assessment of materials for biomedical use & interaction with tissues/ cells /bacteria.
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Properties of bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc & other related connective tissues.
Stem and Progenitor Cells.

ECM carries original research papers, reviews and tutorials on the advances made within the journal scope. All articles are peer-reviewed and reviewer comments, together with responses by authors, are published as an integral part of the paper.

AO Research Institute

The AO Research Institute as part of the non profit AO Foundation works on both basic and applied science in trauma and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
