Dear COST Partners,
Please find hereafter, the announcement from Prof. Jérôme Chevalier, for CIEC 15, in Lyon, next September 5th to 7th, 2016.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International and local organizing Committees of CIEC15, I would like to invite you to present a contribution to the Fifteenth European Inter-Regional Conference on Ceramics – CIEC 15, that will take place in Lyon – Villeurbanne, 5-7 September 2016. Attached you’ll find the announcement for the Call of Papers.
Since 1988, CIEC conferences have been organised periodically by researchers of several European Regions (Baden-Württenberg, Catalunya, Canton de Vaud , Hainaut, Rhône Alpes, Wales, Lombardia and Piemonte). This European Conference on Ceramics Materials will cover all the scientific aspects concerning ceramics as well as processing, structural characterization, properties and industrial applications of monolithic ceramics, ceramic composites, glass and ceramic coatings. This conference promotes particularly participation of young researchers and supports initiatives of networking and European projects. This conference is opened to all the European ceramic scientists.
Thanks to the JECS Trust (http://ecers.org/en/jecs-trust.html) and the support of our institutions, we are glad to offer very attractive registration conditions, especially for Young Researchers (100 € registration fee, all inclusive, student speech and poster contest)

INNOVATIONS IN BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS 2016
Ceramic and Glass Materials for Implants, Medical Devices and Tissue Engineering
July 28-31, 2016, Rosemont Hyatt, Chicago, IL
TRACKS
• Orthopedic application
• Dental and maxillofacial applications
• Material needs medical devices
• Advanced manufacturing technologies
• Power Sources, energy harvesting, power transmission and telemetry
• Implantable and wearable sensors
Track 1: Orthopedic application – Where are we? Where do we need to go?
Bioceramics are currently applied in high volume orthopedic applications such as bearing couples for total joint replacement, because of their high wear and scratch resistance coupled with high biocompatibility. The ceramic articulations have also shown to be a safe and proven technology. However, there is substantial room for improvement to reach their full potential and being introduced in other fields of orthopedics. Nevertheless, the design and engineering of these materials are already in progress with a focus on obtaining optimized properties which better respond to external, biologically compatible stimuli (physical, chemical, biological). Reaching this goal depends heavily on interdisciplinary contributions from material science, chemistry, physics, biology and medicine, which depend on mutually beneficial scientific exchange. The session is aimed to address the key challenges using a comprehensive approach that will embrace both bioinert and bioactive ceramics and will focus on the effect of biodegradation, engineering of material surfaces to promote osteointegration and osteosynthesis as well as mitigating bacteria biofilm formation.
The topics of the session are:
· New materials and bioinspired structures
· Biodegradation
· Surface modification for better cell-material interaction
· Bacteria anti-adhesion strategies
· Novel ceramic applications in orthopedics
· Biomechanics
· Clinical outcomes of bioceramics
· Mechanical properties of advanced bioceramics
Track Chair: Alessandro Alan Porporati, CeramTec GmbH, Plochingen, Germany

Report from Dr. A. Daskalova :
The Workshop COST MP1301: New generation biomimetic and customized implants for bone engineering, Biomaterials (design, processing, characterization, modelling) and applications to regenerative medicine, 13–14 October 2015, Sofia, Bulgaria, was organized by the Institute of Electronics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
The workshop was focused on three main topics:
The workshop was organised in five sessions that focused on different aspects of design, synthesis, modification, research and applications of different types of biomaterials in bone tissue engineering, each introduced by oral presentations.
The purpose of the workshop was to bring together a variety of people working in the field of regenerative medicine.
The workshop was attended by 63 participants from 21 countries. The participants were invited from research, clinical institutions and industry.
The first day was dedicated to the first two topics, where the presenters from Industry have pointed out the newest trends in generation of bio-scaffolds. Different methods for synthesis, manufacturing and printing of the biomaterials were outlined. An emphasis was put on utilization of different type of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.
The second day proceeded with presentations from clinicians and research and at the end of the day STSM presentations have shown the recent collaborations performed in the frame of COST Action MP1301 NEWGEN. Plans for the future meeting organisation and location were discussed.
