The MICCAI Society wishes to provide financial support for members, including both students and early-career scientists, to participate in MICCAI 2022 Main Conference and satellite events. The MICCAI Main Conference and Satellite Event Grants are aimed at non-author students and early career researchers, from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to lower-income countries and countries where few papers are received. A portion of the grant will be dedicated to researchers in Southeast Asia in order to encourage future participation from this region in the MICCAI community.

The grant covers one In-person main conference registration + one year of the MICCAI Society membership + accommodation of 2 nights in the conference hotel.

Eligibility:
