We at Materialise are striving to make this world a better and healthier place to live. In part, we do this by providing biomedical researchers with the best software solution around, but also by rewarding them when they use it to do amazing things. In the words of  Materialise’s founder and current CEO, Wilfried Vancraen:

“We are convinced that many interesting research projects never get further than the planning stage due to a lack of money. We at Materialise want to support these researchers in making the world a bit healthier.”

That is why, in 2005, Materialise decided to establish the Mimics Innovation Awards: a prestigious competition in which we support and reward top level research conducted with the assistance of the Mimics Innovation Suite.

Participants are invited to send in a research case for evaluation by an independent, international jury, composed of experts in advanced 3D medical image processing.  The jury thoroughly evaluates each paper based on pre-defined criteria and selects the most innovative cases.

Registrations are closed. All submissions are now being evaluated. The winners will be announced later on these pages and on the Materialise World Conference!
