Description

The call for abstracts is now open!

Donostia–San Sebastián will host the XLVII Edition of the Congress of the Iberian Society of Biomechanics and Biomaterials on 6–7 November, 2025.

Please submit your contributions using the following template to sibb2025donostia@gmail.com

This year’s congress will explore the Society’s three core areas: Biomaterials, Biomedicine, and Sports Biomechanics. It will provide researchers with a dynamic forum to present their latest scientific contributions and foster enriching discussions in the warm, collaborative atmosphere that has long defined our conference. We are dedicated to organizing a highly participatory and interdisciplinary event, covering a broad spectrum of topics that span the interface between biomaterials, biomedicine, and sports biomechanics.

We are delighted to welcome you to Donostia–San Sebastián, a city that blends a rich scientific and technological ecosystem with an exceptional cultural and natural heritage. With its world-class research centers, universities, and leading companies in materials and biomedical sciences, Donostia is the ideal setting to host this edition of the congress. Its innovative spirit and strong commitment to scientific excellence reflect our mission to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange.

The congress will take place at the stunning Miramar Palace, and will feature a comprehensive two-day program including plenary talks, oral sessions, poster presentations, and activities specifically designed to support and connect Young Researchers across disciplines and career stages.

We are pleased to confirm the participation of Sandra Camarero (POLYMAT), Manuel Mazo (CIMA), Francesco Capuano (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña), and Jose Muñoz (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña) as invited speakers.

More invited speakers will be announced soon, so stay tuned for updates!

The Scientific Committee is composed of:

Clara García Astrain (POLYMAT),
Dorleta Jiménez de Aberasturi (CIC biomaGUNE),
Gil Serrancolí (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña),
Juan García (Universidad de León)
Enrique Navarro Cabello (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid).

Young Researcher’s activities will be organized by:

Nieves Cubo (Universidad de Nebrija)
Andreia Pereira (I3S – Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, Portugal)

We look forward to welcoming you to Donostia–San Sebastián in 2025!

Methodology

The Young Scientist Forum (YSF) of the European Society for Biomaterials is sponsoring a series of events aimed at fostering scientific communication and collaboration among early-career researchers. The program will include a mix of scientific mentoring sessions, where senior researchers provide guidance on career development and research strategies, and interactive networking activities designed to facilitate discussions and collaborations across institutions and disciplines. Additionally, social and recreational events will create informal settings for participants to build meaningful relationships beyond academic interactions, reinforcing the sense of community within the field of biomechanics and biomaterials.

Clara García Astrain

POLYMAT

Clara García Astrain is an Ikerbasque Research Fellow at POLYMAT, where she focuses on the development of functional polymers for biosensing applications. She earned her PhD in Renewable Materials Engineering from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), during which she conducted research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany), specializing in nanocomposite hydrogels for biomedical use. Following her doctoral studies, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, Environment and Health (ICPEES) at the University of Strasbourg (France). Upon returning to the Basque Country, she worked at BCMaterials (Leioa, Bizkaia) and later at CIC biomaGUNE (Donostia-San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa) as a Juan de la Cierva Fellow. In 2024, she joined POLYMAT, continuing her research at the intersection of materials science and bioengineering, focusing on the integration of sensing platforms within 3D cell culture models for in-situ sensing of biological processes.

Dorleta Jimenez de Aberasturi ---

CICbiomaGUNE

Dorleta Jimenez de Aberasturi is an Ikerbasque Research Associate Professor and Ramon y Cajal Fellow leading the Hybrid Biofunctional Materials group at CIC biomaGUNEsince 2023. Dorleta graduated from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2006. In 2013, she received her Ph. D. in cotutelle between the UPV/EHU and Philipps University of Marburg under the joint supervision of Prof. T. Rojo, Dr. I. Ruiz de Larramendi and Prof. W. Parak. She trained as a postdoc in the group of Prof. L. Liz-Marzán, specializing in the synthesis and functionalization of colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles. She has a broad expertise in hybrid nanostructured materials for bio-applications. Her group focuses on the development of functional hybrid materials for the biofabrication of 3D dynamic in vitro models and on the development of contrast agents and/or biosensors to understand those models and different biological processes.
