The 3rd Geant4 International Conference at the Physics-Medicine-Biology Frontier,
29–31 October 2018, was organized in Bordeaux, France, by the Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires
de Bordeaux-Gradignan (http://www.cenbg.in2p3.fr), a CNRS/IN2P3 and Bordeaux University research laboratory. The conference was chaired
by Sébastien Incerti (CNRS/IN2P3, Bordeaux, France), with the support of two co-chairs
Jeremy M. C. Brown (TUDelft, Delft, The Netherlands) and Susanna Guatelli (Wollongong
University, Wollongong, Australia). The event gathered 111 participants from around
the world. All participants had the opportunity to present their work in plenary oral
sessions. This is the third iteration of the conference series (http://geant4.in2p3.fr) that was initiated in Bordeaux in 2005 under the auspices of the Geant4 collaboration
(http://geant4.org). This series of conferences aims to gather Geant4/Geant4-based tool developers and
users, in order to discuss Geant4 recent advances in medical physics and related topics
(e.g. radiobiology).
