XNAT Workshop 2021 Home
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's workshop!
About the 2021 XNAT Workshop
The XNAT Team, in partnership with the Institute of Cancer Research, Cancer Research UK's National Cancer Imaging Translational Accelerator (NCITA) and the Health and Bioscience IDEAS training program at University College London, hosted a two-day virtual workshop starting September 13, 2021. We had more than 300 registrants and 200 participants across the two sessions, including a fantastic and engaging virtual live poster session.
We are posting videos of the proceedings inside the agenda below, and we will publish links to everyone's hosted posters in the poster session listing.
