About Us

OUR STORY

Story

Since 2017, BEA has been bringing together biomedical engineering students. However, 2024 marked a major turning point: we expanded our horizons and opened our doors to all students passionate about the biomedical field!

We actively began developing ambitious projects, solidifying our foundations to host increasingly amazing activities and events. Our effort went into building a lasting continuity within the fast-paced and dynamic university student environment.
