Annual Scientific Meeting of EUBS - EUBS2024
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 optimizing the likely successful outcome of research in the field. It does so by # among other activities # organizing yearly a scientific Annual Meeting, each year organized in a different #member# country. The practical organization is handled by a #local organizer# while the Scientific Committee is steered by EUBS Executive Committee members. The 2024 meeting is conducted in close collaboration with and scientific scrutiny of the French Society for Hyperbaric and Diving Medicine (MedSubHyp), the ORPHY laboratory at Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO) in Brest, as well as renowned leading scientists of European hyperbaric and diving medicine centers who are members of the Organizing and/or 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 the leading 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 (Zetterström 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).
