WiM & RISE Event and RISE Networking Event, MICCAI 2021 (virtual) ↗

At the virtual MICCAI 2021 conference, Islem Rekik (Istanbul Technical University) and I introduced RISE-MICCAI, the network we co-founded within the MICCAI Society, at two MICCAI Society events on 29 September 2021: the joint Women in MICCAI (WiM) & RISE Event, with a keynote by Amy Diehl on “Female scientists and the pandemic: surviving or thriving?”, and the RISE Networking Event.
RISE sets out to make MICCAI more inclusive and geographically diverse, to strengthen the presence of researchers from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and under-represented communities, and to build a research network that helps reduce global disparities in health and imaging. At the time of the event the network had 88 members.
