Call for Special Sessions

MIUA 2025 invites proposals for organisation of special sessions that will be held in parallel with the general conference track. The themes of the special sessions should have focus in a specific topic in the field of medical image analysis. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. We expect all accepted tracks to adhere to the conference paper submission guidelines and reviewing schedule.

Special Session requirements and information

The organisers of a special session must comply with the below:

  • Specific webpage with information about the special session will be linked into the MIUA 2025 webpage. The organisers must provide information regarding special track description, list of topics, call for papers, submission information, programme committee members and any other information (also see submission guidelines below)
  • Special session papers will be peer-reviewed through CMT and managed by the MIUA committee to ensure the quality of paper accepted. The special session organisers can however provide the pool of reviewers they want to use for their special session review process.
  • Registration and attendance:
    • At least one organising member must register and attend/chair the session in person at MIUA 2025
    • At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference
  • Other relevant info:
    • In the case of similar topics, we may ask organisers to merge the sessions.
    • Accepted special sessions must have at least 6 papers accepted to run a session. In the case of lesser number, the session will be merged with the main conference track.
    • Organisers are allowed to invite abstract submissions, but this will not count to 6 paper requirements to run a separate session.
