Annual Scientific Meeting of EUBS - EUBS2020
Abstract
The European Underwater Baromedical Society (EUBS) aims at advancing the field of diving medicine research by facilitating contacts between researchers and clinicians, by stimulating early stage researchers (ESRs) to submit new work to their peers and elders, and to provide discussion forums aimed at optimising the likely successful outcome of research in the field. It does so by among other activities organising yearly a scientific Annual Meeting, each year organised in a different member country. The practical organisation is handled by a local organiser while the Scientific Committee is steered by EUBS Executive Committee members. The 2020 meeting is conducted in close collaboration with and scientific scrutiny of the Czech Society of Hyperbaric and Aviation Medicine, as well as the Faculty of Medicine of the Ostrava University, the Charles University Prague Faculty of Medicine, the Cochrane Institute Czech Republic, the Masaryk University GRADE Centre, the Czech Republic (Middle European) Centre for Evidence-Based Healthcare - The Joanna Briggs Institute Centre of Excellence, and the City Hospital of Ostrava, representatives of whom are members of the Scientific Committee. The main body of the meeting will be largely composed of presentations made by EUBS members (although it is not mandatory to be a EUBS member to submit) and invited lecturers. These are chosen in order to stimulate innovative thought and cross-domain scientific exchange, however, providing an expert review and historical perspective of a currently hot topic by a distinguished and esteemed senior scientist is another frequently chosen option, as the originality of research is highly dependent on prior knowledge. A number of workshops and discussion forums are scheduled, in order to divulge results of new or updated research in a specific field. Here again, initiatives are taken to promote young researchers to present their work. Over the past years, considerable attention has been given to both technical advances in diving medicine areas (remote monitoring of physiologic parameters during diving, development of O2 and CO2 sensors for use in rebreathing apparatus, advanced data display options such as Head Up Displays and smart glasses); and the biochemical and biophysical pre-conditioning of divers in order to reduce decompression stress. Scientific research contributions from EUBS members are regularly published in theleading diving-medicine oriented journals. EUBS proceedings (abstracts and posters) are published in book and electronic format and are available one year after the meetings date from the EUBS website. Reports of research workshops and consensus sessions are peer-reviewed and submitted for publication in the EUBS scientific journal, Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. Also, selected posters and oral presentations are coached towards publication in the Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal through the system of Awards (Zetterstrm Award for best Poster, Patrick Musimu award for best poster/oral presentation on apnoea diving, Student Travel Grant for PhD students in the field of diving medicine research).
