Welcome to the IUPESM World Congress 2025
On behalf of Engineers Australia, the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine, The International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, The International Organization for Medical Physics and The International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering, we are excited to promote this event that promises to be a milestone in the realms of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics. In the ever-evolving landscape of medicine and healthcare, the fusion of leading research and technological innovation is propelling us toward a future where the boundaries are beyond what any of us may have imagined just a few years ago. The 2025 IUPESM World Congress, in Adelaide, South Australia, is your gateway to the opportunities with which we are presented. The Congress theme is aligned with worldwide initiatives of equitable healthcare in a sustainable world: Bridging the Gap: Science, Technology, and Clinical Practice for a Sustainable World.
With the World Congress now only a matter of weeks away, we urge you not to miss this rare and powerful opportunity to be part of the global conversation shaping the future of our professions. With years of preparation now behind us, by hundreds of people, it is almost time to reap the rewards of that effort.
Leading minds from across the world are making final preparations to exchange cutting-edge research, explore groundbreaking innovations, and forge new collaborations and friendships that will drive our fields forward. This is your chance to engage directly with pioneers in medical physics and biomedical engineering, share your views on a global stage, and gain insights that will inspire your own practice and research. Our exhibition space is extensive and you can see and discuss the latest biomedical technology with the vendors. Plethora of special symposia and workshops will keep your attention and will provide opportunity for furthering your professional education – learning from leading experts around the world, including in clinical engineering, radiation shielding design or Monte Carlo modelling.
Whether you’re attending to connect, learn or lead — your presence matters. The energy, the ideas and the impact of our Congress depend on the participation of passionate professionals like you.
The time is now. Do not miss your chance to be part of something truly transformative.
We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

Global Biomedical Industries
Welcome to South Australia, a land of natural beauty, rich history, and thriving healthtech innovation. Offering world-class healthcare facilities, cutting-edge research and development opportunities, and a supportive ecosystem for entrepreneurs, innovators and partners in the health and medical innovation sector.
The $4 billion Adelaide BioMed City is in the heart of Adelaide, comprised of leading-edge anchor research and educational institutes, companies, that cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators and accelerators. The state’s three growing innovation districts include Adelaide BioMed City, Lot Fourteen and the Tonsley Innovation District, which capitalise on South Australia’s competitive advantage in emerging sectors of advanced manufacturing.
South Australia, Your Destination for HealthTech Innovations
Adelaide offers a unique competitive advantage through ongoing investment in mixed-use infrastructure and a well-connected network of clinical research organisations, trial sites, and analytical services within its central business district. South Australia’s streamlined regulatory pathways and internationally recognised data systems make it an ideal location for conducting world-class clinical trials. Its central position within Australia and proximity to key Asian markets, including China, India, and Southeast Asia, further strengthens its appeal as a strategic hub for global health initiatives.
The city is home to cutting-edge healthcare facilities, including the Royal Adelaide Hospital, renowned for its advanced specialties such as cancer treatment, cardiac care, and neuroscience. Complementing this are the Flinders Medical Centre and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, both known for delivering outstanding patient care. Adelaide also houses the Australian Bragg Centre, a landmark biomedical development that will host top-tier cancer research institutes and the Southern Hemisphere’s first proton beam precision therapy centre, cementing the city’s reputation as a leader in medical innovation.
Wonderful City,
Beautiful Country
The city not only provides excellent facilities but also offers a range of unforgettable experiences. You will discover a city that is easy and safe to stroll around with plenty to see and do. When you visit Adelaide, make sure you stop to admire the heritage streetscapes, charming buildings and public art. Walk along the river and through the parklands, or just lounge on the beach or at one of the many cafes. The airport is only seven kilometres (4.3 miles) from Adelaide city and the Adelaide Hills with the Barossa Valley and major beaches a short drive away by car.
