The INCISIVE consortium invited professionals and researchers in the field of oncology and Artificial Intelligence to the event ‘Health data sharing and AI in cancer imaging – empowering AI-driven solutions for cancer diagnosis, treatment and follow-up’, that took place in the Hotel Nobel, Belgrade, on November 17-18th. Attendants had the chance to deepen their knowledge in this field and discover the latest advances of the INCISIVE project and other European-related initiatives clustered under the umbrella of the Artificial Intelligence for Health Imaging projects (AI4HI).

Participation to the event was free. It was a unique opportunity to get in touch with professionals performing cutting-edge research in the field of AI for health imaging within the INCISIVE project and similar initiatives in Europe.

The 2-day programme included sessions and hands-on training on data sharing and its benefits, the perspectives and needs of health care professionals, the legal framework and challenges of the European Health Data Space, medical image (dicom) de-identification, and even a specific example of the route from research to an AI product, among other topics.

The meeting was co-organised by Visaris and the University of Novi Sad.
