Shanghai: the place to be
O n 1–4 September 2005 we will hold our 27th Annual International Conference (EMBC 2005) in Shanghai, China’s largest and arguably its most dynamic city. With a total area of 6,341 square meters and a population of more than 15 million, Shanghai is a flourishing urban area that attracts travelers with its charming beauty, commercial vitality, and harmonious mix of the East and West. Reaching Shanghai is convenient due to its welldeveloped international air links and the recent opening of a high speed Maglev train bridging Pudong International Airport with the city. Our first conference on China’s mainland will offer opportunities for researchers, educators, and developers from academia and biomedical industries to share their research and exchange ideas. Aside from the comprehensive technical program, student activities, local tours, and social programs will be available for attendees and their guests.
