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.

A new exploratory study by the “Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V.” shows what structural conditions need to be established to bring science and society into closer collaboration throughout the research process. It highlights what is already working well in Germany and where there is potential for a research culture that is both socially impactful and democratically grounded.

Fraunhofer MEVIS welcomes Gregory Alliss to the STEAM Imaging VI residency programme: “Resonant Connections through Design and Data.” The glass artist and engineer will be a guest at Fraunhofer, where he will focus his creative work on glass, the world of MR scanners, data, and design.

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) in cooperation with the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR) invites applications for the Pixel Pandemonium at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2026. ECR 2026 will be taking place in Vienna, Austria, from March 4 to 8, 2026.

To mark International Breast Health Awareness Month, which takes place every October (see www.breastcancer.org), female scientists from Fraunhofer MEVIS invited female students from Oberschule am Waller Ring and the BBSG vocational high school for health, along with their female friends & family members to the institute on Monday to discuss breast health.

On 4 November 2025, 5:00 pm, the House of Science in Bremen will open the exhibition ‘Research yesterday, today, tomorrow—Insights into science in the state of Bremen’. To mark the 20th anniversary of City of Science and House of Science, the institution's sponsors will be presenting current examples of their research.

Fraunhofer MEVIS successfully contributed to the 28th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) held from September 23 to 27, 2025 in Daejeon, Republic of Korea.

This year, the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS turns 30 – and marked the occasion on September 3 and 4 with several events. At a festive ceremony in Bremen’s Town Hall, representatives from politics, science, and industry honored the institute’s role as pioneer of digital medicine and driving force for the healthcare of tomorrow. At an international symposium, renowned experts offered insights into the future of medicine. Afterwards, the institute opened its doors to the public: during an Open House, Fraunhofer MEVIS researchers showcased their current projects through numerous, partly interactive demos.

As part of its activities to promote young talent, Fraunhofer MEVIS is also offering a course at this year's Informatica Feminale. The event is aimed at female practitioners from all disciplines with an interest in medicine, computer science, and mathematics. The fully booked course, taking place from August 26 to September 4, gives participants hands-on insights into key areas of digital medicine through interactive learning units and live demonstrations, led by Fraunhofer MEVIS scientists.
