On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, the 17th meeting of the Fraunhofer MEVIS Advisory Board took place in Bremen under the chairmanship of Prof. Hans Maier.

The 21st European Congress of Digital Pathology (ECDP) will take place from June 25–28, 2025, at the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona. The event brings together professionals from clinical, research, and industry sectors to explore new approaches, challenges, and breakthroughs in digital pathology.

From May 28 to 30, 2025, the radiology community will meet for the 106th German Radiology Congress, or “RÖKO” for short, in Wiesbaden, Germany. The motto of this year's congress is ”Shaping W.I.R. – Knowledge. Innovation. Radiology“ with the overarching focus topics ”New Work“ and ”Radiology in Clinic and Practice“. Fraunhofer MEVIS will once again be represented at this year's RÖKO with numerous contributions.

Fraunhofer MEVIS proudly congratulates Alessa Hering for winning the first prize of the prestigious Fraunhofer ICT Dissertation Award 2024. The award recognizes her exceptional dissertation titled “Deep-Learning-based Image Registration and Tumor Follow-Up Analysis,” lauded by the jury for its outstanding contributions to medical image processing.

Bremen, 29 April 2025 – The best teams of the Basic Track of the Bremen Big Data Challenge 2024 were honored at a festive event at the Cognitive Systems Lab (CSL) of the University of Bremen.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is excited to take part in this year’s meeting of The International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and The International Society for MR Radiographers and Technologists (ISMRT) with several contributions.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is once again participating in Girls’ Day on April 3 with an extensive program on the topic of “Digital Medicine”. The aim is to arouse the interest of around 20 participating schoolgirls from the 7th grade onwards in scientific content, to convey this in a practical way and to show them perspectives within the STEM subjects.

From April 8 to 10 DMEA 2025, Europe’s leading digital health event, will take place at Messe Berlin, bringing together experts from healthcare, IT, and research to showcase and discuss the latest developments, technologies, and solutions for digitalization in healthcare. Our experts look forward to welcoming you at the joint booth of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Hall 2.2, Booth D-109. This year Fraunhofer MEVIS presents AI-powered solutions for informed decisions and better patient care:

MOIN, short for Model Region for Industrial Mathematics, aims to make mathematics tangible in everyday life, spark interest in the subject, and improve its attractiveness in schools in the long term—for example by contributing to the new upper secondary specialization “Digital Medicine” at the Oberschule am Waller Ring secondary school. Fraunhofer MEVIS, a partner of MOIN and member organization of the U Bremen Research Alliance (UBRA), aims to contribute to strengthening innovation in the region.

The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is an international event, renowned for its significance in radiology. It ranks among Europe's largest medical gatherings and globally as the second-largest radiological congress. A key highlight of this year’s ECR is Pixel Pandemonium, a showcase of novel AI and machine learning tools for medical imaging. This first-of-its-kind session is co-hosted by Fraunhofer MEVIS institute director Prof. Horst Hahn and is endorsed by the Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention Society (MICCAI). Fraunhofer MEVIS is excited to contribute to this year’s program with an oral presentation, a poster, and several live demonstrations.
