International evaluation of Swedish research in biomedical engineering
Over the years, Swedish researchers in biomedical engineering, together with leading clinicians have contributed several groundbreaking technologies that have successfully competed worldwide.

In this report a panel of prominent international experts present their findings along with their recommendations to keep Swedish research ”healthy” so as to stay at the forefront also in the years to come.
