Participation in the organization of conferences

The MICCAI 2012 conference

gathered a record number of more than 1200 participants in the Acropolis Center in Nice, from the 1st to the 5th of October 2012. It was chaired by Nicholas Ayache. 32 satellites events, coordinated by Xavier Pennec, were held on the 1st and the 5th of October, while the main conference, whose scientific program was under the responsability of Hervé Delingette, took place from teh 2nd to the 4th of October. Agnès Cortell was in charge of the local organisation, with the help of M. Barret, G. Malandain, M. Sermesant, I. Strobant and the MCI company. Inria services, especially O. Carron, M. Oricelli, along with the students helped in the organisation too.

N. Ayache

was the chair of the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2012) in Nice.

H. Delingette

was the program chair and a member of the local organization committee of International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI'12) which involved selecting 256 papers from 780 submissions, and organize the 7 oral sessions and the 18 poster sessions. He was also member of the program committees of the International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI'12), the conference on Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulation (VRIPHYS'12).

X. Pennec

was workshop/challenges and tutorial chair (and a member of the local organization committee) of the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2012) in Nice. This involved in particular the coordination of 32 MICCAI satellite events with 140 organizers and 975 participants. He was also a member of the program committees of: Int. Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI'2012); IEEE Workshop on Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis (MMBIA 2012); Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration (WBIR 2012); Workshop on computational diffusion MRI (CDMRI'12).

M. Sermesant

was a member of the program committee of International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI'12), and was a co-organisator of the MICCAI 2012 Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart and the VPH Network of Excellence 2nd workshop on medical imaging software.

He was invited in Fukuoka, Japan in February 2012 to evaluate a national program on "Computational Anatomy" funded by the MEXT.

Xavier Pennec

is a member of the Doctoral follow-up Commitee (CSD) at Inria Sophia Antipolis since 2010. In 2012, he was elected member of the MICCAI Society boards of Directors for the period 2012-2016, and was an evaluator for the EU STREP PredictAD (neuroimaging in Alzheimer's disease), for the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), for several project proposals submitted to the French research agency ANR.

H. Delingette

is a member of the local committee in charge of the scientific selection of visiting scientists applications (Comité Nice). He was an evaluator for the integrated European project ARTREAT, for the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), for several project proposals submitted to the French research agency ANR, to the Medicen Paris Innovative cluster.

M. Sermesant

acted as an evaluator for the ANR, the CNRS and the Dutch and UK Research Councils. He is a member of the CUMIR (local committee representing the users of computer services) and of the CCC (local committee in charge of the selection of funding for courses and conferences organisation). He also participates in scientific animation in high schools, presenting research and medical imaging (2 times in 2012).
