The International Conference on Computational & Mathematical Biomedical Engineering aims to bring together fellow researchers and academics, specialists of several disciplines, practitioners and graduate students with a common interest, to discuss the current state of the art of Computational Biomedical Engineering research.

CALL FOR MINISYMPOSIUM PROPOSAL (Due: 15 October 2025)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a proposal to organise a mini-symposium at CMBE2026. The scope of the mini-symposium should be clear, you should explain the problem area that you wish to address, and identify current research directions, methods and applications. To learn more, please visit https://compbiomed.net/mini-symposia.

CALL FOR PAPER (Submission opens: 5 November 2025; closes: 16 February 2026)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract for consideration as a poster or oral presentation in a standard session, or in one of our dedicated mini symposia, please consult https://compbiomed.net/abstract-submission

The conference committee will consider abstracts addressing topics of substantial current interest, in accordance with the scope of the conference. The abstract must present original, unpublished work, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
-----------------------------------------------
Abstracts must be prepared as a PDF file using the template provided for electronic submission. Templates and instructions are available at https://compbiomed.net/abstract-submission. Final deadline for submission of papers is 16 February 2026.

REVIEW
-----------------------------------------------
CMBE operates a single-blind peer review process, where papers are reviewed by members of the committees and session (mini symposia) organisers. Please also refer to CMBE Publishing Policy.

REGISTRATION
-----------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise stated, submissions are limited to ONE paper per registered participant (first or presenting author). Registrants can however be co-authors on several papers.

PUBLICATION
-----------------------------------------------
All accepted contributions which are submitted by the camera-ready submission deadline will be published in the CMBE proceedings in print (ISSN 2227-3085) and in online (ISSN 2227-9385) format. Authors will be invited to submit full length papers to a special issue of the Wiley journal ‘International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering’.

AWARDS AND GRANTS
-----------------------------------------------
*2026 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING (IJNMBE) BEST DOCTORAL THESIS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AWARD*
The award consist of a registration fee waiver and travel grant of $500 (USD).

**CMBE TRAVEL GRANT AWARD SCHEME FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS**
The purpose of this award is to support postgraduate students presenting their research at the International Conference on Computational and Mathematical Biomedical Engineering (CMBE) by offsetting their registration cost. At CMBE2026, we aim to award a total of ten (10) grants, valued at $500 each.

For more information about the awards, please consult the conference website (https://compbiomed.net/about/cmbe-award).
