Laureates of the Société de Biomécanique awards agree to submit an original scientific article related to their research to one of our partner journals, Clinical Biomechanics or Journal of Biomechanics.
To highlight their contributions, these articles will be progressively updated on the laureates' page.
Don't hesitate to read them!
We want to thank Bruno Watier and Thomas Robert for all their hard work on behalf of the Société de Biomécanique over the past six years. Your votes resulted in the election of Mickael Begon, Cédric Laurent and Antoine Muller. Well done to them!
We would also like to thank Romain Bechet, a student member, who left the board after completing his PhD.

Xavier HUGUES is a PhD student since December 2022 at the Gipsa-Lab laboratory on the campus of Université Grenoble Alpes. His area of research concerns the biomechanics of movement and the musculoskeletal modelling approach to muscle coordination. |
Lots of actions are conducted by the Société de Biomécanique for students and young researchers
If you are looking for a subject for an internship, master's degree or PhD, don't hesitate to consult the offers that are regularly posted on the site. You can also submit your own application by logging on.
Looking for a course or laboratory? It couldn't be easier: our map lists the laboratories and courses close to the Société de Biomécanique.
Partnerships have been set up between the Société de Biomécanique and other scientific societies to promote interactions between similar scientific communities (guest speakers, reduced registration fees, thematic working groups).
The most recent agreement, signed last year with the Japanese Society of Biomechanics, allows members to benefit from reduced registration fees at their congress and enables guest speakers to be invited. You can find the list of affiliated societies here, as well as the latest newsletters from the Japanese Society of Biomechanics in the connected section of the website (here).
