XII National Congress of Biomechanics XII National Congress of Biomechanics returns to Viana do Castelo in 2027

On February 12 and 13, 2027, the city of Viana do Castelo will host the 12th edition of the XII Congresso Nacional de Biomecânica, one of Portugal’s leading scientific meetings dedicated to biomechanics and its wide range of applications.

The congress will take place at the Axis Viana Business & SPA Hotel, bringing together researchers, academics, students, and professionals from the fields of engineering, healthcare, sports, and technology in a collaborative environment focused on scientific knowledge sharing, innovation, and interdisciplinary networking.

Organized with the support of Abreu Events as Congress Organizer, CNB 2027 aims to once again establish itself as a leading platform for presenting and discussing the latest advances in biomechanics. A multidisciplinary scientific programme
The congress will address a broad range of scientific and technological topics, reflecting the growing relevance of biomechanics across multiple areas of research and clinical practice.

Main topics include:

• - Tissue Biomechanics
• - Orthopaedic Biomechanics
• - Rehabilitation Biomechanics
• - Computational Biomechanics
• - Sports Biomechanics
• - Artificial Intelligence applied to Biomechanics
• - Computer-Assisted Surgery
• - Tissue Engineering
• - Biomaterials
• - Experimental Mechanics in Biomechanics
• - Computational Simulation
• - Computational Systems in Biomechanics
• - Biomechanics Education

The diversity of topics highlights the increasingly transversal role of biomechanics in areas such as medicine, biomedical engineering, clinical research, sports performance, and technological development.

A distinguished organizing and scientific committee
The Organizing Committee is chaired by Marco Parente and includes a local organizing team composed of researchers and specialists from institutions such as the FEUP - Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, INEGI, and the Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo.

The Scientific Committee also includes renowned national experts affiliated with leading higher education institutions and research centres, ensuring the scientific quality of the event and the evaluation process of submitted works.

Promoting research and supporting young investigators
