MICCAI Student Board Mission The MICCAI Student Board (MSB) represents student interests within the MICCAI society, and aims to stimulate the involvement of students within the MICCAI community. The MSB enhances student networking in the community, engages students in the MICCAI society, and advises the MICCAI board on matters of relevance for students. The MSB organises social and professional and student events during the MICCAI period, in collaboration with local organisers, and maintains the MICCAI Educational Initiative.

Islem Rekik is the Director of the Brain And SIgnal Research and Analysis (BASIRA) laboratory (http://basira-lab.com/) and an Associate Professor at Imperial College London (Innovation Hub I-X). Together with BASIRA members, she conducted more than 100 cutting-edge research projects cross-pollinating AI and healthcare —with a sharp focus on brain imaging and neuroscience. She is also a co/chair/organizer of more than 25 international first-class conferences /workshops /competitions (e.g., Affordable AI 2021-22, Predictive AI 2018-2024, Machine Learning in Medical Imaging 2021-24, WILL competition 2021-23). Dr Rekik has been awarded prestigious international research fellowships including the EU Marie-Curie Fellowship in 2019 and the TUBITAK 2232 for Outstanding Experienced Researchers during 2020-2022. In addition to her 150+ high-impact publications, she is a strong advocate of equity, inclusiveness and diversity in research. She is the former president of the Women in MICCAI (WiM), the co-founder of the international RISE Network to Reinforce Inclusiveness & diverSity and Empower minority researchers in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC) and a committee member of the AFRICAI network.
