The logo represents the statue of the Manneken pis, a little peeing guy who is « the symbol of the people of Brussels, and embodies their sense of humour and their independence of mind » (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis).
We thought humour and independence of mind fit quite well with the spirit of the EDMC.
EDMC 2019
The 25th European Dental Materials Conference (EDMC) will be held in Brussels between the 28-30th of August 2019. Attend to learn and share about dental materials science in a thought-provoking event.
For this 25th edition, we want to offer you a fun and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy great speakers during the conference and events in the evenings. We believe Brussels has a lot to offer and together, we will discover the famous sights and gastronomy of the city.
Big news: the posters session will close with an award, a price of 1000 € going to the student delegate showcasing the most promising work. In addition the three finalists will be allowed a short speaking time at the end of the event. This comes as an interest in promoting further the research and efforts of young researchers.
Attend to listen to thought-provoking speakers
