The 21st International Congress MIE 2008 - Call for Submissions

European Federation for Medical Informatics21st International Congress of the European Federation for Medical Informatics MIE 2008
Conference theme: eHealth beyond the horizon - Get IT there
Göteborg, Sweden May 25-28, 2008
The deadline for Paper and Posters submissions has been extended to November 18th.

Invitation to attend MIE 2008 from the EFMI - European Federation for Medical Informatics, and SFMI - Swedish Federation for Medical Informatics:

  • Medical informatics has developed from a merely technically oriented discipline towards a cross-disciplinary field in the intersection of health, engineering and social sciences. Societal and demographic changes such as an ageing society, increased human mobility and lifestyle-related health problems but also the rapid development of information producing medical technology challenge our field of research.
  • European healthcare systems will have to meet increased patient and citizen demands with easy-to-use cross-border information technology. To provide high-quality health care and prevention, these systems should fulfil not only clinical and technical demands, but also economic, legal, social, and ethical requirements. In the future, eHealth has to become an integrated part of our society.

Exhibition
In 2008, the international conference on medical informatics organized by the European Federation EFMI usually attracting some 400-500 academics will be held jointly with the well established national VITALIS conference and exhibition which use to attract more than 600 decision makers and health professionals including top leaders and government ministers. This is a place where all companies that want to be on the Swedish market exhibit but this time you will also reach important leaders of European international health IT.

This combined effort with a number of added smaller conferences such as the ISO and CEN standardization meetings will create a dynamic international audience of 800-1200 participants where the exhibition will be an important part. More than 60 companies and non-commercial organisations have already expressed their interest to participate.

The exhibition is located in the centre of the conference area where also coffee/tea and lunch will be served. Do not hesitate to express your interest.
