1st INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON GENERATIVE & MULTIMODAL AI FOR HEALTHCARE
GeMAIHc 2027
Milan, Italy
February 1-5, 2027
https://gemaihc.irdta.eu/2027/
Co-organized by:
Human Technopole
IRDTA – Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice
Early registration: June 22, 2026
SCOPE
AI is rapidly redefining biomedical research, clinical decision-making, and
healthcare delivery worldwide. GeMAIHc 2027 will provide participants with a
comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art AI methodologies. Topics will include
generative modelling, multimodal data integration and augmentation, large
language models and clinical NLP, medical image synthesis and analysis, as well
as evaluation, robustness, validation, ethical considerations, and regulatory
aspects of AI systems in healthcare.
GeMAIHc 2027 aims to become a leading international forum at the intersection of
generative AI, multimodal learning, and healthcare innovation. The program will
emphasize both methodological foundations and real-world clinical applications,
combining theoretical insights with practical perspectives.
This interdisciplinary event will feature 18 monographic three-hour courses, 2
keynote lectures, 1 symposium, 4 local presentations, and hands-on activities
with a hackathon.
Leading academics and industry pioneers will share their expertise and
perspectives with attendees. In-person interaction and networking will be
central components of the event, while full remote participation will also be
possible.
ADDRESSED TO
The program is open to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in AI, data
science, and biomedical disciplines, clinicians and healthcare professionals,
industry practitioners and innovators, and policymakers and stakeholders in
digital health. There are no formal academic prerequisites for participation.
Researchers and professionals at all career stages are welcome.
An international audience is expected, with backgrounds spanning computer
science, medicine, engineering, mathematics, statistics, physics, and the social
sciences.
GeMAIHc 2027 will offer a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of a
rapidly evolving field, to interact with experts across disciplines, to
establish collaborations and expand professional networks, and to explore how AI
is reshaping the future of healthcare.
VENUE
GeMAIHc 2027 will take place in Milan, one of Europe’s leading international
centers for science, industry, fashion, and finance.
The venue will be:
Human Technopole
Viale Rita Levi-Montalcini, 1
20157 Milan, Italy
https://humantechnopole.it/en/
STRUCTURE
Three parallel courses will run throughout the event. Participants will be free
to choose the sessions they wish to attend and may move between courses at any
time.
A symposium will offer participants and companies the opportunity to present
ongoing research or industrial developments through 10-minute oral
presentations.
The school will include a hackathon, during which participants will work in
teams to tackle challenges in generative and multimodal AI for healthcare.
All lectures will be video recorded and made available to participants for 45
days after the event.
Full live online participation will be possible. Nevertheless, the organizers
emphasize the importance of in-person interaction and networking in research
training events of this kind.

SYMPOSIUM
A symposium will feature voluntary 10-minute oral presentations on ongoing
research projects and industrial developments.
Participants interested in presenting should submit a one-page abstract
including title, authors, and summary to david@irdta.eu by January 8, 2027.
HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
Hands-on team activities will be organized around challenges in generative and
multimodal AI for healthcare. The challenges will be released two weeks before
the beginning of the school. A jury will evaluate the submissions, and the
winners will be announced at the end of February 2027. Winning teams will
receive a modest monetary prize, while runners-up will receive certificates of
recognition.
