Australian and New Zealand Society of Biomechanics (ANZSB) is an affiliate society of the International Society of Biomechanics and it was founded in February 1996 to be a forum for biomechanists, of all disciplines, within Australia and New Zealand.[1][2]

About

[edit]

The main objectives of the society are to:[3]

  • Facilitate communication
  • Provide a forum
  • Promote the dissemination and application of information

Membership of the society is open to all people that have a professional and/or scientific interest in biomechanics; including students.[3]

Regular events

[edit]
  • Every two years the society hosts the Australasian Biomechanics Conference (ABC).[4]
  • Annually they promote National Biomechanics Day (5 April), which started in the United States, in the region.[5]
  • In Australia they host a nationwide Biomechanics and Research Innovation Challenge which engages high school aged girls with early to mid-career female biomechanists to complete a 100-day research and/or innovation project.[6][7] The project is led by Celeste Coltman from the University of Canberra.[8]
