LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONGRESS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that, on this occasion, our GIBD research group is organizing the XLVI International Congress of the Iberian Society of Biomechanics and Biomaterials (SIBB) 2024 , which will be held in Ontinyent on November 7-8, 2024.

Our previous experience in the organization of scientific events, such as the I and II Ibero-American Congress on Cycling Sciences (first edition of the Congress of the Spanish Network for Research on Sports Performance in Cycling and Women (REDICYM)), and the I Congress of Thermography, has allowed us to acquire valuable skills to face this new challenge.

The organization of this congress responds to the need to promote synergies between various sports professionals, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of our proposal. We are dedicated to creating a dynamic and participatory congress that addresses a wide range of topics related to sports biomechanics, biomaterials, and biomedicine.

Our aim is for the 46th SIBB International Congress 2024 to become a meeting point for professionals in the sector, promoting collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, and thus improving the performance of our athletes.

Our headquarters, the city of Ontinyent, is the capital of the Albaida Valley region, located in the south of the province of Valencia. It has a strong textile industry, but it also has great agricultural and tourist wealth due to its famous Moors and Christians festivals. ts surroundings and privileged location make it one of the places in the Valencian Community with a high number of athletes. This aspect, together with the drive to make Ontinyent a university city hosting a Campus of the University of Valencia, are more than enough reasons to celebrate the XLVI International Congress of the Iberian Society of Biomechanics and Biomaterials 2024 (SIBB-GIBD ’24).

We look forward to your participation and contributions to make this conference a memorable and fruitful event.

We look forward to seeing you all at this congress!

Alberto Encarnación-Martínez
President of the Congress Organizing Committee
