## Abstract

Project summary
 The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI) society is dedicated to
the promotion, preservation and facilitation of research and education in the fields of medical image computing
and computer assisted interventions, including biomedical imaging and robotics. This aim is achieved through
the organization and operation of regular international conferences of the highest quality, and publications that
promote and foster the exchange and dissemination of advanced knowledge, expertise and experience by
leading institutions and outstanding scientists, physicians, and educators around the world. MICCAI
Conferences have their origin in three separate but related conferences beginning in early 1990s--Visualization
in Biomedical Computing, Computer Vision and Virtual Reality in Robotics and Medicine, and Medical Robotics
and Computer Assisted Surgery--, which merged into a single annual conference in 1998. MICCAI
Conferences have defined new scientific disciplines over the years and have become the premier meeting in
the field. The conference proceedings have an impact factor comparable to high-impact computational
journals. Conference topics include, computer vision & medical image processing, computer-aided diagnosis,
interventions & surgery, machine learning in medical imaging, guidance systems & robotics, visualization and
virtual reality, bioscience and biology applications, imaging systems and new biomedical imaging applications,
spanning disciplines such as radiology, pathology, surgery, oncology, cardiology, physiology, and psychiatry.
 The MICCAI conference includes three days of oral presentations and poster sessions. The quality and
importance of poster presentations are considered to be on a par with those of oral presentations, with both
undergoing a rigorous double-blinded peer-review (~30% acceptance). Selected presented papers became
landmark publications over the years with up to 2,000 citations. The conference series includes satellite events
like community-driven software challenges, workshops and tutorials just before and/or after the main
conference. These events focus on the current status and advances in topics relevant to MICCAI and are very
well attended. The MICCAI Conferences span the entire globe and are usually rotated among the American,
European, and Asian continents. Attendees are typically from over 45 countries, with strong student
representation (>40%). The MICCAI 2020 Conference will be held in Lima, Peru in October 4th-8th, 2020.
Since 2018, a Mentorship Program to connect students and young investigators with established mentors from
academia and industry is also part of the conference. Along with the Mentorship Program and mission of the
“Women in MICCAI” Committee, this proposal requests funds to support student and early investigator travel
awards to enhance diversity in conference attendance (including women, underrepresented minorities,
students with disabilities, and...
