On June 29, 2026, the Fraunhofer MEVIS Advisory Board convened in Bremen for its 18th meeting, chaired by Prof. Hans Maier.

As a research and technology transfer institute for digital medicine, Fraunhofer MEVIS—together with the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS) and the U Bremen Research Alliance (UBRA)—calls for a change of course in its new position paper “AI4Prevention”: away from late, reactive treatment and toward early, precise prevention that spares patients unnecessary or unlikely-to-succeed interventions.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS is again well represented at this year’s European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP 2026), taking place 17–20 June 2026 in Graz, Austria.

Matthias Günther, Deputy Institute Director of Fraunhofer MEVIS, was designated Fellow of the Society at this year’s meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) held in Cape Town, South Africa from May 9 to 14.

The MS Wissenschaft will launch its tour in Berlin on May 7, 2026, as part of the Science Year 2026 – “Medicine of the Future.” Fraunhofer MEVIS is also on board, presenting, within a joint exhibit by Fraunhofer Health, how artificial intelligence is used in tumour follow up control.

Fraunhofer MEVIS once again participated in Girls’ Day on April 23 with an extensive program on the topic of Digital Medicine. The aim was 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.

DMEA 2026, Europe’s leading event for digital health, will take place at Messe Berlin from April 21 to 23. Experts from the fields of healthcare, IT, and research will come together to present and discuss the latest developments, technologies, and solutions for digital transformation in healthcare. Our experts look forward to welcoming you at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (Hall 2.2 | Booth D-109).

This year's European Congress of Radiology (ECR), which will take place in Vienna from March 4 to 8, has the inspiring motto “Rays of Knowledge.” The meeting will highlight progressive education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and technological advancement, illuminating the path toward patient-centred, knowledge-driven imaging practice. Fraunhofer MEVIS is actively involved in shaping the ECR 2026 with a variety of contributions.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS will showcase the latest developments in AI-supported digital medicine at the SPIE Medical Imaging Conference 2026, taking place from February 15 to 19 in Vancouver, Canada. This year, Fraunhofer MEVIS will be represented at the renowned conference with two poster presentations and a co-chaired live demonstration workshop, in which two of the live demos will showcase work by Fraunhofer MEVIS.

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS will present the latest technologies aimed at optimizing clinical workflows and improving patient care at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2025), held from November 30 to December 4 in Chicago.
