MSB EMERGE Workshop
The MSB EMERGE workshop is a half-day workshop fully organized by students and designed for students to present their research and support them in their journey to become independent investigators and mentors. We encourage early-career researchers - maximum two years post Ph.D. - to be primary investigators and occupy the first and/or last author positions.
Another unique feature of our workshop is the dedicated panel of experts who will engage in discussion with the presenters to provide constructive feedback on extending their work to a journal submission. We publish the accepted papers in Springer LNCS workshop proceedings and provide an invitation to submit as full extended papers in MELBA journal.

Academia and Industry Panel and Networking Event
The MSB has a goal to provide opportunities for professional development and networking. The A&I event educates current students on career possibilities post graduation, and provides students a venue to ask questions related to professional development.
The A&I event will take place on the first day of the main conference with a one-hour moderated panel discussion on career development and the differences between academic and corporate research. Panelists are selected to represent a diverse set of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. The second hour of the A&I event will feature a networking session structured in a speed-dating style.

MSB Lunch, MICCAI Educational Challenge and PhD Thesis Madness
Videos of the top-6 submissions to the MICCAI Educational Challenge will be shown during the MSB Lunch event. The MICCAI Educational Challenge is a competition that aims to promote the development of educational resources in the field of medical imaging and computer-assisted interventions.
The best doctoral consortium submissions will be invited to present their work in a 3-minute oral presentation during the MSB Lunch event. The Thesis Madness event allows final-year Ph.D. students and freshly finished doctorates to showcase their groundbreaking work in a short framework. The event will take place during the lunch and will offer the opportunity for upcoming researchers to connect, collaborate, and construct new ideas.
Lunch will be served at the venue.
