Call for Papers – SafeSurg: Workshop on AI for Safe Surgery, MICCAI2026

June 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
We are writing to announce SafeSurg: Workshop on AI for Safe Surgery, an inaugural workshop held at MICCAI (Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions) 2026, one of the top conferences in the field of medical imaging and surgical AI, to be held between 27th Sept- 1st Oct 2026 in Strasbourg, France. 

Surgery concentrates several open problems in computer vision and machine learning in a high-stakes safety-relevant setting: rare event detection under extreme class imbalance, distribution shift across centres and devices, learning from ambiguous and disagreeing labels, calibrated uncertainty, and the design of human-AI interfaces for reliable use. SafeSurg brings together researchers, clinicians, and industry partners around these real-world, clinically meaningful problems.

We invite full paper submissions (Springer LNCS format, 8 pages) on safety-directed topics, including safe data use and annotation frameworks, safety-critical applications such as adverse event detection and anticipation, surgical quality measures, robustness and multi-centric evaluation, and human-AI interfaces for the operating room. The full list of topics and submission details is available on the workshop website: https://camma-public.github.io/safesurg-workshop/

Key dates: Paper submissions due 1 July 2026. Submissions will be managed via OpenReview here: https://openreview.net/group?id=MICCAI.org%2F2026%2FWorkshop%2FSafeSurg

Call for reviewers: We are also recruiting reviewers for the workshop. If you would like to contribute to the review process, please sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrzGCAp2-sE1CuPg80EwPpjRpzYeTOwCWCQio7s38B_8C5jQ/viewform. We welcome reviewers across career stages and encourage expressions of interest from researchers and clinicians working on any of the workshop topics.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to colleagues and students who may be interested. We look forward to your contributions and to seeing you on the workshop day!

Best regards,
Lalith Sharan on behalf of the SafeSurg organising committee

IEEE NorCAS 2026 call for Special Sessions

June 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
 

The 2026 IEEE Nordic Circuits and Systems Conference (NorCAS) will take place in

Tampere, Finland on October 20-21, 2026. The conference is co-sponsored

by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and Tampere University. The submission

deadline in on August 16, 2026. See the call for papers on the conference website.

 

Special Sessions for NorCAS 2026 can be proposed by June 15, 2026 by email to 

norcas@tuni.fi. They will be added to the paper submission system once approved

by the conference management. It is then the responsibility of the session organizers to

promote their session.

 

To propose a Special Session, send the proposed session title/topic, organizer(s) name,

affiliation and email, a short paragraph on the rationale of the session, and the names

and email addresses of five proposed (PhD level) reviewers for the papers submitted to

the session. We expect at least one of the organizers to participate in the conference to

chair the session if accepted.

 

Special Session papers will undergo similar reviews as any other papers submitted to the

conference, and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore database.
