Committee of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences was established in 1972. Objectives of the activity of the committee are related to integration of the scientists working in the field of biocybernetics and biomedical engineering in Poland and coordination of initiatives leading to advanced research in this field.
Members of the committee are experts in the field of biocebernetics and biomedical engineering. They represent research organisations as well as companies involved in manufacturing of biomedical equipment. They are elected for years terms. Chairmen of the Committee were: prof. Maciej Nałęcz (1972-2007), prof. Andrzej Weryński (2007-2011), prof. Roman Maniewski (2011-2020) and presently prof. Adam Liebert.

Between 24-th and 25-th of October 2022 in Wroclaw the 3-th Central European Technology Forum CETEF22 took place. The CETEF22 serves as a platform to exchange experience and discuss on transformation of the European economy in the context of research in the science and industry in the fields of: robotization, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, biomedical technologies or non-ferrous metallurgy. Cooperation within countries of the Central-Eastern Europe is a key for a success in innovations in the region. Furthermore, it supports competitive position of Europe in the world.
The president of the Committee, Prof. Adam Liebert, was one of the invited speakers.

The NCN Council has introduced new descriptors for subdisciplines of the biomedical engineering. Changes will be effective for the project calls announced after 15/12/2022.
The NCN Resolution (in Polish) and the attachment to the Resolution (in Polish).
Introducing the new descriptors (biocybernetics, biomeasurements, bioimaging, telemedicine, bionic-engineering, biosensing systems) to the ST7 panel will prevent from rejecting submitted proposals based on inconsistency with the panel topic.
The Resolution adopted by the NCN Council is our joint success resulting from cooperation of the Committee and the NCN Council. We thank everyone involved in the process.

„Inżynieria biomedyczna. Podstawy i zastosowania - Sztuczne i hybrydowe narządy wewnętrzne”, M. Darowski, P. Ładyżyński, W. Rużyłło (Red.), Akademicka Oficyna Wydawnicze Exit, 510 str., Warszawa 2021. (in Polish)
A succeeding volume of the 10-volume monograph cycle entitled “Inżynieria biomedyczna. Podstawy i zastosowania” is published. The Committee of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering PAS is the initiator of the publication. The following committee of redactors was involved: Władysław Torbicz (redactor), Roman Maniewski and Adam Liebert (deputy directors), Jan Poleszczuk (secretary). The monograph cycle is published by the Akademicka Oficyna Wydawnicza Exit.
The 5th volume „Sztuczne i hybrydowe narządy wewnętrzne” (eng. „Artificial and hybrid internal organs”) was written by 32 clinicians and engineers and three editors: Marek Darowski, Piotr Ładyżyński and Witold Rużyłło. The monography is divided into seven sections: supporting the respiratory system, cardiovascular system support, artificial kidney, artificial and bio-artificial pancreas, bio-artificial liver, artificial organs on-a-chip and cochlear implants as an example of an artificial sense organ.
Publication of both printed and digital versions of the monograph is financed by the Nalecz Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering PAS. It is the very first volume of the monograph cycle which will be freely available online. Publication of the free digital version soon.
