the World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering (WC2012) (http://www.wc2012.org/) will be held at Beijing International Convention Centre in Beijing, China, from 26th to 31st of May, 2012. Which is hosted by International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM) ，International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) and International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP)
During the World Congress 2012, the participants will share the latest information on global health challenges, advanced technologies and innovative applications. It will be a window to show participants the up-to-date picture of research, education development and industrial contribution in the field of medical physics and biomedical engineering. Beijing has hundreds year history as the capital of China and is the key city with academic and economic functions. She is also a hub of international/domestic traffic communication.
