The Organising Committee are delighted to invite you to submit abstracts to the 4th EMVBM. The excellent prearranged programme will be supplemented by 34 oral presentations selected from the poster abstracts.
There will also be a Young Investigators Prize session with 5 chosen abstracts and additional poster prizes for young investigators. All successful abstract submitters will be informed by May 25th 2007. At this time those selected will be given the option to present oral communications. We look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant and historic city of Bristol.

Location:
The location for the 4th EMVBM meeting is Bristol, located in Gloucestershire and the South West of England.
It is a sea-faring city that has been the birthplace to a host of famous people, buildings and designs. Most relevant in terms of famous people to this meeting is of course Paul Dirac. Born in Bristol on 8th August, 1902. He was educated at the Merchant Venturer's Secondary School and Bristol University before joining St.John's College, Cambridge, as a research student in mathematics. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1926, became Lucasian Professor of Mathematics (Newton’s chair) in 1932. He is most famous for his wave equation, which in 1930 predicted the existence of anti-matter. The first anti-particle, the positron, was experimentally demonstrated two years later and later became the basis for the positron emission tomography which is widely used in cardiology and cancer diagnostics. Some physicists argue that Dirac’s work was more important than Einstein’s, since it was the first crucial step towards a unified theory for the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces that bind together all matter in the universe.
