Dear all The Biomedical Engineering (BME) program is holding a one-day conference, where its morning session is dedicated to poster session and students' presentation competition. It is open to all students across U of Manitoba, whose research project is related to BME. The poster competition presentations will be in two categories of graduate and undergraduate groups. There will be cash prizes for the top three winners in each group. The deadline for a 300-word (maximum) abstract submission is Friday Sept. 4th. This one-day conference will be a great opportunity for students interested in BME, not only to gain practice in presentation, receiving feedback across the breadth of health and engineering research, but also to network with industries representatives and researchers in the field. For more information on the conference program, please see its webpage at: http://biomedcon.com/

I would encourage you to take this opportunity to participate, and to pass the message to your colleagues as well.

Cheers
