MICCAI 2026 In Sight

With MICCAI 2026 approaching, we’re putting together activities to help students and early-career researchers meet each other, learn, and get the most out of the conference.

At MICCAI 2026, attendees can look forward to a variety of student-focused initiatives, including:

• Educational sessions on research skills and development
• Career and mentorship events, plus academic networking
• Webinars throughout the year with members of the MICCAI community
• Social and networking activities to connect people across countries
• Sports and community events during the week
• Cultural outings around Strasbourg

Below are the tentative MSB activities. Final dates and details will be announced through official channels.

We can’t wait to see everyone in Strasbourg. Whether you’re presenting for the first time or returning, we hope the MSB activities make the week feel a little more like home.
