Events

Introduction

NA-MIC organizes a variety of events. The engineering core holds a weekly telephone conference. Workshops address specific research focus areas. Training events aim at training NA-MIC participants and outsiders in NA-MIC technologies. Project weeks are intended for making progress in a variety of projects. The majority of NA-MIC events are hands-on and open to collaborators and interested scientists. If you want to get going with Slicer, go to the list of past events and look for the most recent one-day workshop or tutorial.	Example of a Training Event
