BioEM

BioEM is an independent scientific society dedicated to advancing the field of bioelectromagnetics, which investigates the interactions of natural and applied electromagnetic fields with biological systems. Established in 2021 through the merger of The Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS) and the European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA), BioEM unites a multidisciplinary community of biological and physical scientists, physicians, and engineers. The society facilitates the exchange of ideas and promotes research in biology and medicine involving electromagnetic fields. BioEM organizes annual international conferences, with the upcoming BioEM 2026 scheduled for June 21–26 in Cairns, Australia, serving as a major platform for presenting latest scientific findings, workshops, and tutorials. The society also publishes the official journal 'Bioelectromagnetics' via John Wiley & Sons, which disseminates peer-reviewed research on the scientific study of electromagnetic phenomena in biological contexts. To support the development of young scientists, BioEM offers several awards, fellowships, and travel grants such as the Student Support Programme for Short-Term Missions (STMs), which fosters student and early-stage researcher mobility worldwide. Notably, recent grant opportunities have expanded to provide additional funding for applicants from both low- and middle-income, as well as high-income countries. BioEM actively encourages membership to benefit from community involvement and access to resources. Regular updates, including calls for abstracts for conferences, announcements, and messages from leadership, are communicated via its website. The society also provides opportunities for collaboration through short-term missions and fellowships, aiming to promote innovative research in electromagnetic diagnostics and therapeutic applications. Overall, BioEM serves as a comprehensive hub advancing bioelectromagnetic science through education, collaboration, and support of the global research community.
