Our Institute established in 2002 became the local scientific center of biomechanical research programs in the Budapest University of Technology. Today this Center collects, organizes and strengthens the work of 17 Departments (of 5 Faculties) in these special inter- and multidisciplinary
fields (under the control of the Dean of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of BME from 2008). This introduction would like to show the most important research activities, results and future plans of our colleagues working at our Institute.
