1. Aim of the Award

Since its foundation in 2012, ICBEB has developed rapidly along with an annual increase of submissions and continuous improvement of manuscript quality. To attract more scholars to deliver the latest research findings and encourage more presentations and exchanges at the conference, the Best Paper Award is set up for excellent contributors.

This Award is energetically supported by the journal Physiological Measurement (PMEA) published by IOP Publishing under the Institute for Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). Winners of the top 3 papers will receive certificates issued by PEMA as well as a bonus of £ 250 each.
