2011 Joint Workshop
Joint Workshop on New technologies for Computer/Robot Assisted Surgery
11-13 July 2011, Graz, Austria
A multi-disciplinary workshop aimed at checking the state-of-the-art in, and advancing the field of, minimally-invasive surgical procedures for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
The field of robotic and computer-assisted surgery has never been more productive. More and more universities, institutes and companies are gathering specific knowledge in consortia, and this type of cooperation generates high-quality research outcomes and innovative technical solutions. Thus, the SCATh
Project Coordination Board has decided to organize a joint workshop with the aim of:
- Presenting the research conducted at European level in technologies to assist and plan surgery,
- provide training to early stage and advanced stage researchers,
- sharing new visions and perspectives in the research fields related to computer/robot assisted surgery.
