We are beginning our online STEAM course ‘Inside Out: 10 STEAM Evenings’ – an interdisciplinary exploration of digital medicine and the human body as part of the artist residency STEAM Imaging, jointly hosted with Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, in collaboration with the International Fraunhofer Talent School and the School Center Walle Bremen, and UCLA ArtSci Center, Los Angeles, USA.

Marshmallow Laser Feast, one of the leading virtual reality creators in recent years, and Fraunhofer MEVIS as scientific partner cooperate on the installation The Tides Within Us, the initial part of the Human Nature exhibit at York Mediale 2020.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is presenting two short films at the three day & night event Bright Festival Connect taking place from October 23 to 25 in the Kunstkraftwerk in Leipzig.

August 2020 marked the 25th anniversary of the founding of the research center MEVIS at the University of Bremen. From this, today's Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS developed with over 120 employees at the locations Bremen, Lübeck, Berlin and Aachen.

The Executive Board of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has appointed two long-standing colleagues as deputy institute directors of Fraunhofer MEVIS.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is well represented at the 23rd International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) held from October 4 to 8, 2020.

On Friday, September 25, the official start of the large-scale project EMPAIA takes place. The aim of the project is to establish a platform for AI-supported applications in image-based medical diagnostics.

Scientists from Fraunhofer MEVIS successfully participated in the Challenge on Ultrasound Beamforming with Deep Learning (CUBDL). The challenge was part of the 2020 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) that took place in “virtual” Las Vegas from September 7-11.

We are delighted to be part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2020, with a guided tour, and a talk. Alongside our outstanding partners from Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) the researchers are jointly presenting a unique virtual tour of the Institute’s MRI Lab, including audience engagement and conversations with artists from Marshmallow Laser Feast and scientists from Fraunhofer MEVIS.

As a pioneer in applied research, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft brings together the expertise of 23 separate Fraunhofer facilities to develop new development and production technologies for innovative cell and gene therapeutics, as well as vaccines, in the “Production for Intelligent Medicine” innovation cluster.
