Bridging Engineering and Biology for Global Impact
The 1st International Symposium Bridging Engineering & Biology is a premier academic event dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. We bring together leading researchers to explore the convergence of biological sciences and engineering principles, driving innovation in sustainable technology and healthcare solutions.
Abstract Submission
We invite students and researchers to submit abstracts for presentation of electronic posters (e-poster). This is a unique opportunity to showcase your findings in the bridging fields of engineering and biology. All submissions must be received by April 14, 2026.
Guidelines for posters:
Landscape layout A0 (1189 x 840 mm) title; authors' names; affiliations; 3 columns including: a brief background; purpose; method; results; figures; conclusions; references (max. 5); photo of the presenter (upper or down side); acknowledgements; and correspondence info.
Font size: Title (72pt); authors (44 pt); affiliations (32pt) sub-headings (40 pt); body text (28pt); references (18pt)
Poster presentation
The corresponding author should send us the e-poster in TIFF or PNG format within approximately 1200 pixels before the registration time of the event (before 9h45 am on the April 17th, 2026).
The authors can briefly present (3-min presentation) the e-posters over the posters' sessions
Please keep your full abstract (Title; Purpose; Methods; Results; Conclusion; keywords) within a maximum of 300 words.
