The publication and dissemination of the proceedings of conferences, congresses or symposia remain entirely within the responsibility of the organisers of the event in question. Proceedings are not official fib publications, even if the event was co-sponsored by or organised on behalf of the fib. Published proceedings can be ordered by contacting the organisers when possible.

The fib organises a Congress every four years, a Symposium in the years between each Congress and a PhD Symposium every two years.

Most of the proceedings of fib congresses and symposia are indexed in Scopus and in Web of Science. All recent congresses and symposia proceedings are developed with the latest quality standards, including peer review of each publication.

Please contact the fib Secretariat to request more information.
