22nd International Congress of the European Federation for Medical Informatics, Medical Informatics in a United and Healthy Europe, MIE 2009

Medical informatics at current development stage belongs to highly specialized science. Simultaneously, this scientific discipline causes numerous dilemmas and confusion. Even though, human knowledge and skills are constantly expanding, it is not clear if the current technological process will be able to accommodate all kinds of existence and humankind as a whole. The Medical Informatics Europe (MIE) Congress is the main scientific event in health informatics, held every two years in Europe. Around 500-1000 participants from 32 European member countries of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) attend the event. Several scientists from other parts of the word also participate.

The main theme of MIE 2009 is to develop new bridges and medical informatics between western and eastern parts of the world. For this purpose, a panel of high level scientists will be invited to participate and to give keynote speeches, tutorials and workshop discussions. Thematic tracks will contain selected full papers on specific topics, such as bio-informatics, ontological approaches, and knowledge representation; image processing and feature extraction; electronic health records and information systems. Workshops will cover debates and presentations under the leadership of EFMI working groups or established entities.

The registration is open and can be performed online with the payment of a fee.
