Welcome to our latest update! The MICCAI Student Board has been working hard to help improve the experiences of students within the MICCAI community. In this update, we’re excited to share a line-up of upcoming events organized by the Student Board.

EMERGE Workshop

The EMERGE workshop, organized by the MICCAI Student Board, is an exciting new event at the MICCAI 2024 conference, offering a platform for early-career researchers within the MICCAI community to showcase their work.

We aim to foster the educational and professional development of early-career researchers and support them in their journey to become independent investigators and mentors. The EMERGE workshop, organized by students for students, requires early-career researchers (maximum two years post PhD) to be primary investigators and occupy the first and last author positions on an 8-page paper. These papers will be published in Springer's LNCS format, and the most outstanding contributions will be invited to expand their work for potential publication in MELBA. The deadline for submissions is 24 June. To find out more information, visit our website for the EMERGE workshop.

The MICCAI Educational Challenge

The MICCAI Student Board is happy to announce this year’s MICCAI Educational Competition (MEC)!

The MICCAI Educational Challenge will be held for the sixth time, leading up to and concluding at MICCAI 2024 in Marrakesh. The goal of the challenge is to encourage members of the MICCAI community to create and share educational materials, covering fundamental concepts in medical image computing (MIC) and computer-assisted interventions (CAI). The first prize winner of the MICCAI Educational Challenge will receive a prize of $300, sponsored by the MICCAI society. A second and third-place prize of ($200 and $100) will also be awarded. The winner(s) will be decided by popular vote and announced at MICCAI 2024! Tutorials may be formatted as videos, papers, presentations, IPython Notebooks, GitHub sources or blog posts.
