European IUSBSE Fellows

European IUSBSE Fellows

In April 1992, the constituent biomaterials societies of the World Biomaterials Congress, now the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE), determined the need for the public recognition of those of their members who have gained a status of excellent professional standing and high achievements in the field of biomaterials science and engineering.

The honorary status of "Fellow, Biomaterials Science and Engineering" (FBSE) was therefore established.

Fellows are to be considered as accomplished members and role models in the field of biomaterials science and engineering. Fellows are expected, through word and deed, to foster the field of biomaterials and to support its professional development as a practical and intellectual endeavour. 

The duly nominated, approved, confirmed, and installed fellow has the right to carry the letters FBSE. These letters indicate the national recognition and international respect of his/her comprehension of professional issues and accomplishments as a scientist or engineer in the field of biomaterials science and engineering.

A Fellow has all rights and obligations of an active member of their Society.

It is expected that Fellows shall recognise individual achievements and contributions to the practice of biomaterials science and engineering, foster professional interactions with other practitioners in the field, and with clinicians, patients, regulatory and legislative offices, and the public, promote public awareness of the profession, and promote and encourage professional and continuing education.

Fellows are confirmed on an international level by a decision of IUSBSE to be made in the 12 months prior to a World Biomaterials Congress
