10th WCB Vancouver (11-15.07.2026)
10th World Congress of Biomechanics
Vancouver, CA (July 11-15, 2026)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Get ready and save the date!
The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics is coming to vibrant Vancouver from July 11-15, 2026—and we can’t wait to welcome you. We are thrilled to bring you an unforgettable event that celebrates all that’s new, bold, and boundary-pushing in biomechanics. The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics will feature a rich scientific and social program bringing together our global research community. We are honored to announce that the 10th World Congress will serve as the 2026 meeting of our 3 principal partners: the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB), the Canadian Society of Biomechanics/Société Canadienne de Biomécanique (CSB/SCB), and the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB).
In addition to the high quality and diverse spectrum of scientific tracks you have come to expect from the World Congress, we are striving to amplify contributions of researchers that are embracing emerging areas that we will announce more on as the planning progresses, but will undoubtedly include wearable sensors, artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine, novel devices, and much more. This Congress will be an immersive, hands-on experience in one of the most dynamic cities in the world. Expect workshops that spark creativity, discussions that challenge the status quo, and networking opportunities against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver’s mountains and ocean.
Join us in continuing the tradition of excellence of more than two decades of World Congresses now past, and forging the next directions in your field. This is more than a Congress; it’s a chance to inspire, be inspired, and chart new directions. Vancouver is calling, and you won’t want to miss this incredible opportunity!

Course Content. The course introduces and applies state-of-the-art tools in the continuum mechanical analysis of hard and soft biological tissues. It provides attendees with a broad foundation towards the mechanical description of biological tissues, allowing to address individual scientific endeavors more effectively. The course is designed for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with a good background in bioengineering and solid mechanics. It integrates physical principles, numerical approaches, and experimental concepts towards the characterization of biological tissues. The program’s holistic approach is unique in the analysis of biological tissues.
Intended Learning Outcomes. Unique opportunity to connect experimental, theoretical, and numerical know how in the description of biological tissues.
+ learn about the function of soft and hard biological tissues.
+ consolidate the essentials of continuum biomechanics and FEM.
+ learn the essentials of how to explore biological data
+ power your studies by addressing the different (engineering, biological and clinical) aspects of tissue biomechanics.
+ acquire skills to prepare tissue specimens for experimental tissue characterization (i) biaxial tension (ii) symconCT test (iii) budge inflation
+ gain deep insight through mixed experimental numerical study approaches (COMSOL Multiphysics laboratories).
+ learn how to implement user material models in FEM packages
+ improve your judgment of data reported in the literature.
+ collect 2.0 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points for your curriculum.
Quote from a previous summer school student.
“…that was the most fruitful week so far in my education, and I can only recommend it to every student working with tissue biomechanics.”
