Computer Vision News 62 “First of all, as a member of the African research community, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to MICCAI Society for bringing MICCAI 2024 to Africa for the very first time, and to the beautiful city of Marrakesh, Morocco. “My name is Noussair Lazrak, and I’mborn and raised in the beautiful country of Morocco where I did study and became a researcher. I have been following MICCAI with great interest for many years, and I have always been impressed and inspired by the quality of the research and the impact that MICCAI has had on the field. “It is true that (unfortunately) I have not been able to attend in the past, but I am thrilled (as many other African researchers) that MICCAI is finally coming to AFRICA. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest R&D in the field, and to network with leading researchers and practitioners from around the world. I am specifically excited about the fact that MICCAI is coming to Africa for the first time as it will help to raise the profile of AI in medical imaging in Africa and to attract more African researchers and practitioners to the field. It will also provide an opportunity for African researchers to showcase their work to the international community and to learn from the experiences of their colleagues from other parts of the world. “This edition will have a tremendous impact not only on AI in medical imaging but on the whole African AI profile and lead to the development of new and improved medical imaging solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of African populations, and making AI more accessible and impactful for all.” Welcome to Marrakesh, welcome to Africa! MICCAI 2024
