We would like to invite you to submit your papers for the Efficient Medical AI 2025 Workshop to be held in September 2025 in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, as a satellite workshop of MICCAI.
The EMA4MICCAI Workshop seeks to bridge the gap between computational efficiency and cutting-edge AI methodologies within the medical domain. While much progress has been made in developing high-performance AI models, their real-world adoption in clinical workflows is often hindered by inefficiencies in computation and resource requirements. EMA4MICCAI aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and clinicians to explore solutions that make medical AI more lightweight, energy-efficient, and deployable at scale.
The conference program will include paper presentations, a poster session and keynote talks by prominent speakers in the field. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three PC members and handled by an Area Chair. Acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, practical or theoretical impact. All accepted papers will be published in LNCS proceedings.

Submission Instruction
Format
Papers will be submitted electronically following Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style of up to 8 (main) + 2 (ref) pages (same as MICCAI main conference).
Submissions exceeding the page limit will be rejected without review.
Latex style files can be found from Springer, which also contains Word instructions. The file format for submissions is Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Other formats will not be accepted.
Double Blind Review
EMA4MICCAI reviewing is double-blind. Please review the Anonymity guidelines of the MICCAI main conference, and confirm that the author field does not break anonymity.
Paper Submission
EMA4MICCAI uses the CMT system for online submission.
Supplemental Material
Supplemental material submission is optional, following the same deadline as the main paper. Contents of the supplemental material would be referred to appropriately in the paper, while reviewers are not obliged to read them.
Submission Originality
Submissions should be original, no paper of substantially similar content should be under peer review or has been accepted for publication elsewhere (conference/journal, not including archived work).
Proceedings
The proceedings of EMA4MICCAI 2025 will be published as part of the joint MICCAI Workshops proceedings with Springer (LNCS).
