| HISTORY |
This brief history of the ICPRBI and the International Conference
on Electrical Bio-Impedance was recopilated with the main contributions of

| 1969 |
The first ICEBI was held in
the USA Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 1969. The Proceedings consist of a volume of the

The second ICEBI was
organised in Lyon in 1976 by C. Fourcade, ( dead in 1981). The
Proceedings, of 363 pages, are entitled "Advances in Bioelectrical
Impedance Measurements". There is no official source to get these
Proceedings from, except the issues in the libraries of the participants.
There is no mention of any International Committee |
| 1981 |
The Proceedings of 5th ICEBI
in Tokyo mentions only an Organizing Committee and a Program Committee
with members from various countries. The constitution of an International
Committee for the Promotion of Research in Bio-Impedance was proposed
during the Tokyo Conference |

just'approved rules Prof. Eberhard Gersing is elected new chairman of the
Committe and Tapani Lahtinen vice-chairman. There are publised procedings. |
| 1995 |
The IX ICEBI was held in
Heidelberg, in conjuntion with the last meeting of the 2nd. European
Concerted Action in Impedance Tomography (CAIT). There are published proceedings and a
selection of the communications of the CAIT were published in a special
issue of Physiological Measurement, in 1996 |
| 1998 |
Pere J Riu was the Chairman
of the the X ICEBI, held in Barcelona in April 1998. There are published
proceedings and a
selection of the papers were published in a volume of the Annals of
the New York Academy of Sciences, in 1999 |
| 2001 |
The XI ICEBI was held in
Oslo. The Chairman of the Conference was Prof. Sverre Grimnes. There are
published proceedings. The First
H.P.Schwan Award was presented to Prof. Ronald Pethig. The Committee
decided to look forward the constitution of a formal Society and an Executive
Committee was elected to pursue this task. |
