Chilean Association of Movement Sciences (ACCM) 2024 Congress
From Felipe Carpes - South American Representative
The Chilean Association of Movement Sciences (ACCM) invites the community to the IV Congress of ACCM at the University of Antofagasta next November 6 – 8, 2024. The ACCM is an ISB affiliate society created with the objective of promoting the development and dissemination of Movement Sciences and related disciplines, including Biomechanics, Neurosciences, Psychology, Physiology, and Engineering, either individually or through interdisciplinary collaboration.
We invite the community to visit www.accm.cl and follow the society on social media at @ciencias_del_movimiento_chile to have access to the latest content regarding ACCM activities. Companies willing to support and participate in the event are invited to reach out to the society through the e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.

South America is hosting the 3DAHM Symposium next December
From Felipe Carpes - South American Representative
3DAHM 2024 is the most important international event on 3D Human Movement Analysis. For the first time in Latin America (Dec. 3-6 2024) and with a focus on Tango studies as a local feature, 3DAHM 2024 will showcase the results of research on every aspect of Human Movement, which occurs in 3D space: inertial sensors, rehabilitation systems, equipment for sports and training, as well as 3D kinematics, models and clinical applications in a broad sense but related to Human Movement. Start-up companies producing equipment, devices or software for such analysis are specially invited. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. A book by Springer is planned for 2025, composed of invited chapters by authors of the best articles presented at 3DAHM 2024.
The local organizers are excited with the opportunity to host members of the biomechanics community. We invite you to visit https://3dahm2024.com/ and learn about all the details of the upcoming 18th International Symposium of 3DAHM, which will happen next December 3-6 in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay.
The International Society of Biomechanics proudly is sponsoring the 3DAHM 2024.
XXI Brazilian Congress of Biomechanics Website has Been Launched
From Felipe Carpes - South American Representative
The Brazilian Congress of Biomechanics (CBB) is an official event of the Brazilian Society of Biomechanics (SBB) that takes place every two years in different locations around the country, with the aim of promoting discussions on biomechanics and advancing the development of the field. It is considered the largest and most important event in the field of biomechanics in Latin America. This event gathers an average of 400 participants at each edition, including national and international researchers, professionals from different fields, professors, and students from various courses (undergraduate and graduate) who work in different areas of biomechanics.
Of the 20 previous editions, only one took place in the Northern region of Brazil (Manaus in 2019), and two editions were held in the Northeast of Brazil more than 10 years ago (João Pessoa in 2005 and Natal in 2013 during the only ISB Congress in Latin America so far). Therefore, bringing the CBB back to this region, specifically to the Sertão of Pernambuco, will be an opportunity for growth in the field and will allow local participation, sparking the interest of new researchers, as well as showcasing the work done in the states of Pernambuco and Bahia, primarily.
Thus, the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley (UNIVASF) and the Physical Education Program, represented by its faculty and students, are pleased to open their doors to host the XXI Brazilian Congress of Biomechanics, to be held from April 30 to May 3, 2025, at the main campus of this institution in the city of Petrolina, PE. We will have the participation of national and international speakers, considering gender, ethnic, and geographic diversity, with a focus on biomechanics in practice.
We invite the community to learn more about the event visiting www.cbb2025.com.br
