CSP - Annual Scientific Meeting of EUBS
Abstract
Annual Scientific Meeting of EUBS: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 meeting is conducted in close collaboration and scientific scrutiny of the Hyperbaric Medical Centre of the University Hospital of Geneva, as well as the other hyperbaric centres in Switzerland, whose representatives 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 usually 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.
