Stevo Najman is a Full Professor of Biology and Genetics at the Faculty of Medicine University of Niš and he is a partially engaged professor at Faculty of Science in Niš. At the Faculty of Medicine he is Head of Department (Biology and Genetics) and Head of Scientific Research Center for Biomedicine. His research focuses on biomaterials biocompatibility, regeneration of skeletal tissues assisted by biomaterials and stem cells, tissue engineering models, as well as examination of biological activity of the substances in models in vivo and in vitro.Vojislav Mitic obtained his B.Sc. degree in 1982 in Material Science at the University of Nis; M.Sc. degree in 1990 in Material Science at the University of Belgrade and Ph.D. in Material Science at the University of Nis. He has published nearly 500 scientific publications where he pioneered application of fractal geometry and analysis in study of ceramics materials, nanotechnology, and energetic issues. Thomas Groth is Full Professor of Biomedical Materials at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. He obtained his Ph D in Biophysics at Humboldt University Berlin. His research interests are focussed on modification and use of biopolymers for making cell-instructive surfaces and hydrogels for engineering of musculoskeletal tissues. He is Past President of the European Society for Artificial Organs,  currently Secretary Treasurer of the International Federation for Artificial Organs and Speaker of the International Ph D School AGRIPOLY at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.   Mike Barbeck is Co-Founder of the company Berlin Analytix Gmb H and research group leader at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Dermatology and Venereology at the University Medical Center Rostock. He has a long experience in regenerative biomedical research working at institutes and companies in Germany. He works on the research on the principles of biomaterial-mediated tissue regeneration (mainly many different bone substitute materials and collagen materials). His research leads to further elucidation of cellular fundamentals of the foreign body response to different biomaterials.  Po-Yu Chen is a Full Professor and currently the Chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. His research interests include multi-scale characterization of biological materials, synthesis of bio-inspired composites and scaffolds, surface science and technologies, biomineralization, biomechanics, multi-scale modeling and A.I.-assisted approaches. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science from University of California, San Diego, USA in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Ziqi Sun is a full Professor and the ARC Future Fellow at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. His research interests include developing bio-inspired smart nanomaterials and 2D metal oxide nanomaterials for sustainable energy and environmental applications, such as rechargeable batteries, oil-water separations, and catalysis. Ziqi received his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009.  Branislav Randjelovic is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering Nis, working partly also as a Professor at the Faculty of Teachers Education, Leposavic, University of K. Mitrovica, where he is a Head of Department for Mathematics and Natural Science. He is also a member of various professional bodies and associations. He received his Ph.D. degree in Applied mathematics and Technical science in 2015. He works as a Head of the Institute for Education Quality and Evaluation of Republic of Serbia and his research interests are applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, algebra, graph theory, fractaltheory, neural networks,  material science, as well as methods of teaching and large scale studies in education
