Huge thanks to our collaborators at the University of Washington, especially Meliha Yetisgen, and @KurtLabResearch for their hard work in preparing the data usage agreements to make participant access possible. And many thanks to the @imageclef organizers, @henmueller1 and Cristian Stanciu, and Bogdan Ionescu for their continued support! We're looking forward to seeing the community's ideas and participation! 🌐 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲: imageclef.org/2026/medical/m…  📩 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁: [email protected] 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗤𝗔 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁: groups.google.com/g/mediqa-n… 📅 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: ♦️ Registration closes: 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟐𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 ♦️ Test set release: April 23, 2026 ♦️ Run submission deadline: May 7, 2026 ♦️ Paper submission deadline: May 28, 2026 ♦️ CLEF 2026 Conference: September 21-24, 2026 (Jena, Germany) 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝟭 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀: • Asma Ben Abacha, Microsoft • Wen-wai Yim, Microsoft • Daniel K Low, University of Washington, Kurtlab • @Juampablo_24, University of Washington, Kurtlab • Mehmet Kurt, University of Washington, Kurtlab • Jake Ruzevick, UW Medicine, Neurosurgery • Daniel D.
