Conference highlights
A one-day pre-conference tutorial for newcomers, organized by Sverre Grimnes and Ørjan Martinsen, two well-known experts in the field of Bioimpedance.
We will have three plenary sessions with the following topics:
  • A. Robitzki: Frontiers in nano- and microstructures on microarrays for cell and tissue real time monitoring by bioimpedance spectroscopy
  • E. J. Woo: New Techniques in Impedance Imaging: MFEIT and MREIT
  • P. de Vries: What separates us from turning EIC and EIT into succesful clinical bed-side instruments?
Special sessions will focus on hot topics in Bioimpedance research and application.
Attractive options for publications: The conference papers will be published by Springer in form of a CD and, on demand, of a hardcopy volume. So the conference offers the possibility of disseminating your newest results via one of the most famous publishing houses. Moreover, according to good old tradition, we will organize the edition of a special volume on bioimpedance in ‘Physiological Measurement' (IOP). After the conference authors of selected papers will be asked for submitting a full manuscript which will be peer-reviewed.
The ICEBI committee also feels the duty for encouraging and supporting young investigators. In this context we offer a young investigators competition for the best oral and the best poster presented by authors up to 32 years of age. The winners will be awarded with 500 Euro and a diploma confirming their outstanding contribution.
Should you wish to participate in this competition, please register via the function Update personal data of the Access Centre. Under Memberships check the box 'Young investigators competition'.
An attractive social program will complement the scientific part and will allow for intensive networking. We will have a welcoming cocktail, a reception by the mayor of Graz and by a representative of the regional government of Styria and a gala dinner in a very attractive location. Excursions to the surroundings of Graz will also be available.

August 29th 2007, 15:00 – 17:00: Guided City Walk
Free of charge – meeting place: Conference Venue
book in Access Centre until June 30, 2007

Graz turns visitors into time-travellers. As a World Cultural Heritage site it takes them back through distant centuries of the past in a whirlwind tour of the Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque periods. Graz also captures the moment, the spirit of modern life. The nomination of Graz to Europe's Cultural Capital in 2003 brought many positive changes and left unmistakable and spectacular marks in the cultural and architectural face of the city such as the Kunsthaus called the "friendly alien" or the Island in the River Mur.

Take a walk into history! The Austrian Open-Air museum Stübing, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, lies embedded in a green side valley of the river Mur. Here among woods, meadows and fields, 100 original farmsteads from all over Austria, up to 600 years old, have been brought and rebuilt with great care. The historic interiors of the farm housed, decorated with flowers and surrounded by leafy gardens and fields, are arranged authentically with much love of details – one truly has the impression that the farm people might walk in at any moment.

To round the conference off there will be a bus tour to the wine route where you will enjoy typical Styrian culinary delights in a "Buschenschank". Excellent white wines, which are receiving more and more international attention, age in the gentle hills of southern Styria. Wine-tasting and a cellar tour of the 300 year-old wine cellar of the episcopal Seggau-Castle, probably one of the most impressive sights in Styria, will also help you acquire a taste for it. Afterwards, the trip continues along the Wine Route, where the rest of the afternoon is spent in a rustic „Buschenschank“, a wine tavern serving its homemade products, enjoying a Styrian „Brettljause“, an assorted cold cut platter and a glass of wine.
