MRI Research Day 2026
We are delighted to announce the MRI Research Day 2026, which will take place on June 10, 2026, at the Albert Renold Auditorium, CMU, University of Geneva.
This one-day event brings together MRI experts from across the Lemanic region and provides a platform to review ongoing MRI projects, share experiences and challenges, and foster collaboration among physicists, physicians, and neuroscientists.
See highlights from the 2025 edition here.
