Background
The Canadian Biomaterials Society (CBS)
is an incorporated, not-for-profit organization dedicated
to the development of biomaterials science, technology, and
education in Canadian universities, industry, and government.
The CBS is in its 24th year of existence and has a long-standing
dedication to undergraduate and graduate biomaterials education.
Together with the United States, Europe,
Japan, Australia, China and Korea, the CBS is a member of
the international community of biomaterials societies as represented
by the International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science
and Engineering (IUS-BSE). A World Biomaterials Congress is
held every four years.
The society hosts a national scientific conference
each year (except in years in which a World Congress is held).
Each year, the society provides travel
awards to students who demonstrate excellence in their field.
This applies to the World Congress, the Canadian conferences,
and the American Society for Biomaterials annual meetings.
Like Canada itself, the CBS is officially
bilingual. Abstract submissions and presentations at the annual
conference may be made in either English or French.
