The International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) invites you to submit contributions to our Annual conference which will take place in Rotterdam as part of RehabWeek 2022.
IFESS is a member-based, not-for-profit community and association dedicated to creating a future in which electrical stimulation technologies and therapies enhance the quality of life.
We have been promoting the awareness, knowledge, and understanding of electrical stimulation technologies and their application since 1995. We bridge research, application, and healthcare to enhance quality of life through advocacy, education, organization of international scientific meetings, and facilitation of inter-professional collaborations.

Publication of the Scientific Contributions
IFESS accepted contributions will be published in Artificial Organs (only online) as conference proceedings. In addition, your submissions will be made available to all RehabWeek attendees during the conference in electronic form. We will also organise a special issue in Artificial Organs where invited contributions will have an opportunity to be submitted as extended versions for consideration in the special issue as a peer reviewed full journal paper. Please indicate in the submission form if you would be interested in having your submission considered for this special issue. Please note that submitting an extended abstract to the conference which is subsequently published in Artificial Organs may limit further publication elsewhere.
Vodovnik Award
The Vodovnik Award will be presented to the three best student papers (1st, 2nd and 3rd place) at IFESS 2021. All student submissions participating at IFESS2022, where the undergraduate or graduate student (up to and including doctorate student: PhD, MD, DVM etc.) is the first author on the article, will be considered for the Vodovnik award. The student must attend the conference and provide the presentation to be eligible for this award.
