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!

WCB 2026

Musculoskeletal Modeling Workshop (25-26.09.2024)

Musculoskeletal Modeling Workshop 2024
(25-26.09.2024 Regensburg)

We will once again organize a Musculoskeletal Modeling Workshop using the AnyBody Modeling System.

The course will aim at beginners and include a review and discussion of important theoretic background, but emphasis will be on practical skills to perform musculoskeletal simulations with the AnyBody Modeling System.

The workshop will be a mix between theory and applied hands-on modeling.

The course schedule will include:

Day 1: AnyBody Modeling System and Model Repository, kinematics, muscle models/recruitmentDay 2: Templates, scaling options, using motion capture data

Workshop: Biomarkers arising from nonlinear analysis of movement variability 03-06.2023 Zurich

Registration now open: Workshop on “Biomarkers arising from nonlinear analysis of movement variability”
July 3-6, 2023, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics (LMB – ETH Zurich) together with the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability (MOVCENTR – UNO Omaha) is organizing a 4-day workshop converging experts in the field for deeper discussions and future international level efforts and collaboration for development and validation of biomarkers arising from nonlinear analysis of movement variability. During the workshop, participants will learn about the underlying mathematics and real-world applications of latest techniques and tools for assessment of various nonlinear characteristics: Complexity, Divergence, Regularity and Recurrences in human movement research. The programme also includes keynotes from world leading experts, think-tank sessions to share opportunities and challenges for fundamental investigations in nonlinear analysis of movement variability and Consult with Experts sessions to meet one-to-one with experts to discuss and plan your research journey with non-linear analysis tools.

Participants with varied backgrounds (research scientists, clinicians, educators, and students) are welcome since we include a strong practical component with class discussions and hands-on practice to facilitate understanding of the methods. More info and registration here:
