The 1st Meeting of the “Northern Bavarian Initiative for Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine” was held on 25th October 2011 at the University of Bayreuth, hostes by Prof. T. Scheibel, with participation of researchers working in the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine from the University of Bayreuth, Erlangen-Nuremberg and Würzburg. The meeting was organised by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg), Professor Juergen Groll (University of Würzburg) and Prof. Thomas Scheibel (University of Bayreuth). The main objective of this new initiative is to build a forum for researchers and technology exchanges and academic collaborations among partner universities in the mentioned fields, to which also the local biomedical industry will be invited. This first academic activity being organised is the “1st Northern Bavaria Biomaterials Seminar”, to be held at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Institute of Biomaterials, on 17.01.2012, with participation of Master students, PhD students and young researchers of the 3 Universities.
