Current ARI Orthopaedics Conference 2025

Our previous meeting has only just finished, but we are already working on next years ARI Orthopaedics on Cartilage and Disc
Keep an eye on updates as we develop an exciting speaker program!

Orthopaedics covers the musculoskeletal field including trauma, cranio-maxillofacial and spine of humans and animals. The main focus is the preclinical research field, including the field of tissue engineering & regenerative medicine. Our Logo is based on several aspects. The animal within the logo (Steinbock, (German) Capricorn or Ibex, (English)) is from within the Graubünden (Grison) flag, form our canton where AO Research Institute Davos (ARI) is based. The "rock" below it is based upon integrated bone trabeculae within a biomaterial.

eCM Conference Rebranding to ARI Orthopaedics

Since 1999 eCM organised yearly conferences in the preclinical orthopaedic research area in Davos. The conferences were organised by Scientists at the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), a Not-for-Profit foundation in Switzerland. eCM conferences has been rebranded to ARI Orthopaedics, which are conferences where scientists (including biologists, engineers and material scientists), clinicians and industry meet. All ARI Orthopaedics abstracts are hosted on ARI Abstracts Together they bring clinical problems to the table, consider industrial requirements of possible solutions and often initiate collaborative projects to answer these clinical problems. The limited number of participants (max 200) ensures ample opportunities for knowledge sharing in basic, translational and clinical research.

eCM Open Access Scientific Journal is changing publisher from AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), who published eCM from published eCM from Volume No 1 January, 2001 until Volume No 45, 2023, to Forum Multimedia Publishing, USA.
