Abstract:
IEEE-EMBS is the largest bioengineering society in the world. This paper introduces material about the Society and its benefits, including the EMBS mission, types of EMBS membership, and direct membership benefits such as the EMB Magazine. EMBS governance is also explained, including the new worldwide representational organization for AdCom (Administrative Committee), and recent changes in the Executive Committee. EMBS delegates to other societies are described, as well as the infrastructure of the main office and duties of key personnel there. Infostructure efforts related to the website and web-based conference registration and manuscript submission are also briefly discussed. Publications sponsored and co-sponsored by EMBS are reviewed. Plans for future national conferences are put forth. The various EMBS awards are outlined. Context is provided for the relationship between IEEE and EMBS, and a brief description is provided of IEEE organization and benefits.
