Introduction

Participants in the 2015 winter Project Week.
Participants at the 2016 Winter Event
The NA-MIC Project Week is a hands on activity in which medical image computing researchers interested in an open science gathering twice a year to create solutions using the image computing platform, 3D Slicer, and its VTK, ITK, and CMake components. Founded in 2005, along with the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) which was chartered with building a computational infrastructure to support biomedical research as part of the NIH-funded NCBC program, Project Week has become one of the major events in the calendars of several NIH-funded Center efforts. It is held in the summer in conjunction with the CARS conference, typically during the second half of June, and in the winter at MIT, typically in early January.

The participating community has grown exponentially. Since August 2014, Project Week is an MICCAI-endorsed event. During Project Week, participants work collaboratively on open-science solutions for problems that lie on the interfaces of the fields of computer science, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and medicine. In contrast to conventional conferences and workshops in which the primary focus is reporting on progress of projects. The objective of the Project Week is to provide a venue for this community of medical open-source software creators. Project Weeks are open to all, publicly advertised, and funded through fees paid by the attendees. Participants are encouraged to stay for the entire event.

Project Week Activities: Everyone shows up with a project which has been discussed with participants in the preceding 6 weeks via conference calls. The projects include platform work, algorithm development, and biomedical applications. The first day of the Project Week begins with a 2-hour introductory meeting in which each project and team is introduced to the participants in-person, and is followed by a mix of working sessions and breakout sessions on special topics.

Participants in Project Week include NAC, NCIGT, QIICR, and OCAIRO.

Project Weeks are led by Tina Kapur, PhD.
