Stéphane Cotin received the Inria – French Académie des Sciences – Dassault Systèmes Innovation Award. The committee underlined the professional experience of Stéphane Cotin at the cutting edge of research into numerical simulation. "Stéphane Cotin is leading the MIMESIS team, working in close collaboration with IHU Strasbourg since its creation in 2014. Besides the development of SOFA, the team is mainly dedicated to real-time simulation in operating theaters. Its flagship projects include the development of 3D models that are to be projected on the livers of patients having a tumour removed, or the development of highly realistic virtual images that would improve interventional radiology techniques by limiting exposure to X-rays."

Andrea Mendizabal received the Student Travel Award at MICCAI 2018 Granada. Spotlight presentation on the paper A Combined Simulation & Machine Learning Approach for Image-based Force Classification during Robotized Intravitreal Injections.
