MICCAI Society Introduces New Awards and Grants
Tuesday 23rd September 2025
At MICCAI 2025, the MICCAI Society introduced two new funding initiatives that will support innovation and inclusiveness in the field of medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention.
“The MICCAI Society is committed to broadening participation in our community and advancing innovative solutions, methods, and technologies that address the pressing challenges in healthcare”, said Professor Marius George Linguraru. “We open doors to a vibrant, global research community and champion the next generation of MICCAI innovators.”
MICCAI Society Awards for the Advancement of Health Equity
The MICCAI Society Awards for the Advancement of Health Equity will fund innovative projects in medical image computing and computer-assisted interventions that improve access to healthcare and enhance health outcomes for all populations. The award will support early-stage research with the potential for transformative, equitable impact. Submissions should propose new methods and applications with a well-defined path to implementation, applicable to diverse healthcare settings and mindful of variations in data, infrastructure, resources, and costs. For 2026, seven awards for $10,000 each, with a focus on geographical health equity with one award dedicated for projects addressing environmental and climate health challenges.
Selection criteria and application information is available here. Applications must be submitted before October 31, 2025
MICCAI Society Membership Grants
The MICCAI Society Membership Grants will foster inclusivity and broaden participation in the global medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention community. Grants will support as many as 100 individuals from underrepresented groups at MICCAI to ensure a more equitable scientific environment. By providing a one-year MICCAI Society membership, the grant will remove financial barriers for students and early-career researchers to participate in initiatives and activities organised by the MICCAI Society. As a result, grant recipients will have the opportunity to engage with leading experts, present their work, attend educational and training event, and build international collaborations that can significantly advance their scientific careers.
