Overview
Fostering the Next Generation of Leaders in Medical Image Computing
🌟 What is EMERGE?
The MSB EMERGE Workshop, now in its second edition, is a platform dedicated to empowering student-led research within the MICCAI community. Building on the success of its inaugural year, EMERGE offers early-career researchers a unique opportunity to present and discuss their work, engage with senior researchers, and foster new collaborations.
Organized by students, for students, the workshop encourages independent research by supporting young investigators in their scientific and professional development. EMERGE provides an inclusive and supportive environment for students at all levels—undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral—to showcase their contributions to medical image computing and computer-assisted interventions.
Note: Young scientists as last authors preferred but not required. We also welcome joint co-last author, and first author papers by young scientists irrespective of last author status.🎯 Why Attend?
