Van Swieten Saal
Van-Swieten-Gasse 1
1090 Vienna

We perform ONLINE and broadcast live from the Studio of the Van-Swieten-Saal of MedUni Vienna! You will soon be able to access the virtual event here - stay tuned!

The 3rd MIC-Festival “Driving the Evolution of Medicine with Imaging” combines international expertise and local enthusiasm in a joyous, cooperative and holistic setting. A keynote lecture will widen our horizon beyond medical imaging, a roundtable discussion with Vice-Rector Michaela Fritz and representatives of all MedUni Vienna clusters aims to highlight the future role of medical imaging. Finally, all MIC nodes invite you to take a guided poster tour displaying their involvement in major medical topics and to participate and interact actively in their exhibition.
