MIUA Doctoral Community

The 2024 MIUA conference is excited to announce the inclusion of a Doctoral Community in Medical Image Understanding and AI, welcoming students from across the globe to join and share their ideas and experiences. This initiative offers two significant benefits:

• Firstly, students will have the invaluable opportunity to learn about the work of their peers, facilitating collaboration and mutual assistance for those tackling similar research topics
• Secondly, participants can leverage each other's experiences to navigate challenges and overcome obstacles encountered during their doctoral studies.

Additionally, master's students planning to pursue a PhD are encouraged to join, benefitting from mentorship and guidance from both peers and postdoctoral researchers. Moreover, postdoctoral researchers are invited to participate, providing valuable mentorship and enriching the collective knowledge base of the community. By fostering a supportive environment for knowledge exchange, this platform aims to enrich the academic journey of aspiring researchers in the field of medical image understanding and artificial intelligence.

Please join the community by filling in this questionnaire: https://forms.gle/VV58P4YDEsvzxweP8
