VPHi opens the call for bids for VPH2018

The Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) international conference is a conference series held biennially on even years, whose objective is to provide a forum for the discussion and the dissemination of the broad field of in silico medicine. The conference is intended also as an opportunity for researchers from all over the world to establish collaborations regardless of geopolitical barriers, identifying areas of cooperation, and promoting the development of partnerships for new research and educational initiatives in the area of in silico medicine.

The issues organised so far are:

• VPH2010 – Brussels
  
• VPH2012 – London
  
• VPH2014 – Trondheim (Norway)
  

The forthcoming VPH2016 will take place in Amsterdam on 26-28 Sept 2016.
