ISB Executive Council Elections Overview

It is that time in the Society’s schedule when we commence the extremely important process of electing the next ISB Executive Council, who are the governing body of the Society. The Executive Council is composed of Officers and Council members who are elected for 2-year terms, and who represent countries from throughout the world and various scientific areas within biomechanics. The Executive Council, which meets annually, provides leadership for the continued development of the Society and oversees the many on-going activities that are performed by Council appointed sub-committees, including activities in Economically Developing Countries, student award schemes and communication via ISBNOW.

ISB 2013 BRAZIL

While browsing the ISB website we can see time decreasing. It was interesting to see on the ISB watch that today we have 150 days before we get together to chat about science. On the 4^th of August our ISB watch will start from zero counting up until our Congress ends, and we will start a new countdown to ISB 2015.
