New Podcast: Voices of RISE-MICCAI

We never rise alone. We rise together.

With this belief, RISE-MICCAI launches a new series of podcasts, Voices of RISE-MICCAI, a space where researchers from under-represented regions share their real journeys, the challenges they’ve carried, and the hopes that keep them moving forward. We hope that by listening to these stories, more young researchers will feel seen, encouraged, and empowered to keep walking toward their dreams.

We have now launched our first two episodes with Dr. Andrea Lara and Dr. Islem Rekik. Episodes are now available on Spotify (@Voices of RISE-MICCAI) and Youtube (@RISE-MICCAI) for listening to their incredible experiences.

RISE-MICCAI Mentorship Program

The RISE-MICCAI Mentorship Program supports first-time MICCAI attendees from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through a year-long research collaboration. Successful mentees were selected based on completing the MICCAI LISA Challenge and have now been paired with an experienced researcher/mentor who will guide them, together with their main supervisors, from project design to writing, review, submission, and presentation of a MICCAI 2026 paper.

The program aims to provide participants with personalized research guidance and the opportunity to publish their first MICCAI paper. Priority is given to students from LMICs and other underrepresented communities, empowering emerging talent and strengthening global participation in medical imaging AI research.
