We are soliciting proposals for tutorials to be held with MICCAI 2025. The tutorials will take place on September 23 and 27 at the main conference venue, each organized as a half-day (AM or PM) or full-day in-person event.
Tutorials are educational sessions offered by expert researchers and scientists on topics relevant to the MICCAI community. The purpose of tutorials is to provide educational materials for all career levels. Tutorials should focus on a specific theme, e.g., methodology, clinical application, emerging technologies, or software tools, and organizers should explain why the theme is timely and of interest to the MICCAI community.
The tutorial format may combine mini-lectures, demonstrations, hands-on sessions, and hackathons. Topics relevant to MICCAI for global health and proposals from under-represented regions are strongly encouraged.
Due to space and time limitations, as well as the need to encourage diversity of topic coverage, only a limited number of proposals will be accepted. In the case of small attendance or similar tutorial proposals, tutorials might be canceled or suggested to be merged with other tutorials.
Tutorial organizers are expected to articulate a plan detailing the management of all administrative aspects, following the selection criteria below, and to be submitted by January 9, 2025.
Tutorial organizers can access the submission form at the MICCAI 2025 CMT link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/MICCAISAT2025/. The content of the form is included in this call for easier reference.
Due to the limited availability of rooms and internet bandwidth (preventing remote presentations), the submitted tutorials will be evaluated on criteria that include:
Note that if the number of registered in-person participants for a tutorial is small, we reserve the right to cancel or merge it with other tutorials.
Presenters will assign to the MICCAI Society the right to distribute the tutorial material to MICCAI members and conference attendees, independently of the copyright ownership planned by the tutorial organizers. It is up to the tutorial organizers to obtain the presenter's corresponding agreement.
The MICCAI 2025 Satellite Events Committee has limited funds to waive the registration fees for exceptional speakers, including those from outside the MICCAI community. Organizers should request a registration fee waiver to tutorials@miccai2025.org with a justification for their request. Organizers and speakers who plan to attend only their own/participating tutorial are still expected to register for the event unless registration fee waivers have been requested and granted.
MICCAI 2025 does not provide financial support (e.g. travel and/or registration) specifically dedicated to the tutorial organizers/presenters.
