EMB IEEE Student Chapter AUTH

EMB IEEE Student Chapter AUTH, currently the largest EMB student chapter in Greece, is an interdisciplinary team of students coming from various backgrounds related to engineering and life sciences with the vision to promote the field of biomedical engineering in the students’ community. Our aim is to give the stimuli needed for students to understand and better engage with bioengineering technologies outside their faculty’s curriculum. We achieve this through a variety of scientific, technical and educational activities that include among others lectures and workshops in which participants learn to apply the concepts and methods of physical and engineering sciences in biology and medicine while expanding their spectrum of knowledge. These events are also an effort to bridge the gap between academia and professionals, create networking opportunities for students and getting them acquainted with emerging technologies that will influence future advances in biomedical engineering and healthcare technology. Furthermore, students can challenge themselves and test their abilities in hackathons and competitions, learn to cooperate, be part of interdisciplinary teams and get inspired to innovate. Our mission is therefore to provide our members and the entire students’ community with access to the people, practices, information, ideas and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest growing fields in science!
