Mutual recognition of professionals is a pre-requisite for the ful-fillment of European Union policies concerning the free move-ment of professionals. The two associated fields of BiomedicalEngineering (BME) and Medical Physics (MP) are rapidly evolvingand diversifying while the accelerated development of medical informatics, telematics and microelectronics, approached by both physics and engineering, have resulted in extended grey areasaround the two profession boundaries. Competency-based educa-tion, training, assessment and accreditation of medical physicistsand biomedical engineers share not only common principles, butalso a certain number of common competencies. These issues havebeen negotiated, in this volume, by transnational professionalbodies and also by TEMPERE - a European thematic networkof 40 universities under the SOCRATES EU programme -which has contributed a broadly accepted proposal for mutual co-operation and recognition in the above fields.
