The Venue

The MICCAI 2011 conference posted its call for Workshops and Tutorials proposals:

Important Dates

  • February 1: Workshop and tutorial proposals
  • March 1: Acceptance of workshops and tutorials
  • March 16: Call for submissions of papers to workshops/tutorials (the MICCAI organisers will provide two rounds of calls for papers on behalf of all workshops/tutorials. Each organiser is encouraged to use their own mailing lists for additional calls)
  • May 16: Notification of acceptance for the main MICCAI conference

Guidelines

The purpose of tutorials is to provide educational material for training new professionals in the field including students, clinicians and new researchers. Points to be considered include:

  • Tutorials should be on an existing sub-discipline of MICCAI with known material, approaches and open problems.
  • There should be a cohesive theme to a tutorial, e.g., methodology, organ, disease, etc.
  • Tutorials should acknowledge the wide spectrum of background of the attendees within their program, and may focus on basic or advanced knowledge transfer.
  • Tutorial organisers should identify the target audience and educational objectives (e.g., Continuing Medical Education guidelines might be followed).
  • Proposals should have speakers and titles, and allocate presentation/discussion times per speaker no less than 30 minutes.
