The ASME NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB) initiative serves to identify challenges and opportunities with the aim to engage the engineering, physicist, chemist and material scientist communities in emerging areas of research, technology and education pertaining to applying nanoscience and nanoengineering to medicine and biology. The NEMB Steering Committee develops strategies and plans and monitors their implementation in critical areas, to facilitate the exploration of challenging life science problems and to improve human health through nanoengineering. In particular, the focus areas of NEMB are: 1) modeling and design, and experimental methods, 2) manufacturing and implementation, and 3) testing, reliability and standards. Through this range of activities NEMB leads the field in the establishment of the art, science and practice of multidisciplinary nanoengineering in medicine and biology.

CISM Short Courses are currently part of Doctoral programmes in a number of European Universities and Higher Education Institutes.

Upon agreement between CISM representatives, course coordinators and the director of the specific doctoral school, short courses can award credits for doctoral programmes.

A list of European Universities acknowledging CISM courses in the frame of doctoral programmes follows.
