On October 8, 2025, the Polish-Portuguese Symposium on Biomaterials took place at the AGH University of Krakow. The event brought together researchers and professionals to discuss recent advances and international collaborations in the field of biomaterials engineering. The symposium was organized by the Polish Society for Biomaterials (represented by Prof. Elżbieta Pamuła - President), in cooperation with the Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics, AGH University of Krakow (represented by Prof. Aneta Frączek-Szczypta - Vice Dean for General Affairs and Research), and the Young Scientists Forum of the European Society for Biomaterials (represented by Dr Patrycja Domalik-Pyzik - ESB-YSF Board Member). The event was dedicated to everyone interested in the interdisciplinary field of biomaterials and international scientific exchange, with special focus on PhD students and early-career researchers.
Program highlights:
Experts' Panel
Prof. Cristina Barrias: Modular Bottom-up Strategies for Microvascular Network Assembly
Prof. Aneta Zima: New Trends in Bioceramic Materials for Bone Regeneration
Prof. Judite Barbosa: Immunomodulatory Biomaterials as a Bridge Between Inflammation and Tissue Regeneration
