About Ericeira
It is an old fishing village 40 km (25 miles) northeast of Lisbon.
Situated on the cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean it has an eternal
relationship with the ocean and its traditions. The hospitality of
its people, the harmony of the “old village” with its narrow cobblestone streets, characteristic housing, singular monuments,
the sea, the fishing and the cuisine are reasons to visit Ericeira.
Gastronomically Ericeira is famous for its quality of fresh fish
and seafood.
Nearby golf courses, horse riding facilities or bike tracks and
paragliding areas are just some alternatives to the life on the
beautiful sandy beaches of Ericeira.
Its beaches, the mild climate and lifestyle invite you to come all
year long.

Organizing Committee
This scientific workshop will address problems in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology. Its main objective is to
promote the development of biomechanical analysis capabilities at the microscopic level and characterize their
influence across scales.
The workshop takes a multidisciplinary approach involving leading researchers from a wide range of areas,
namely mathematics, applied mechanics, biomechanics,
biophysics, biology and material science. It brings together expertise on theoretical and computational modeling and experimental analysis to investigate multi-scale
phenomena related to the behavior of biological materials and systems present in the Human Body. It will be
an ideal forum for broad and instructive discussions on
the grand challenges of multiscale modeling and scale
bridging in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology and how
to undertake them.
Topics
• Micromechanics and homogenization applied
to biological systems.
• Meso-scale mechanics and signaling
in biological systems.
• Emergent behavior in complex multi-scale
biological systems.
• Applications of heterogeneous computing
in multi-scale biological systems.
