Advancing the co-evolution of medical foundation models and benchmarking — from pretraining objectives and multimodal alignment to evaluation protocols that diagnose robustness, generalization, and evidence consistency.
Medical foundation models are rapidly reshaping medical image understanding, enabling stronger generalization and more unified learning across modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) and tasks such as classification, detection, segmentation, report generation, and multimodal reasoning. A key differentiator of this workshop is the explicit focus on the co-evolution of foundation models and benchmarking — not only building stronger models, but also establishing evaluation protocols that diagnose robustness, cross-site generalization, and evidence consistency.
Model architectures, large-scale pretraining and self-supervised learning, multimodal learning, alignment, cross-modality reasoning, and efficient fine-tuning and adaptation strategies.
Global-scale multi-institution datasets, collaboration frameworks and governance, privacy-preserving learning (federated learning), data curation, domain generalization under distribution shift, robustness, safety, and trustworthiness.
Evaluation standards, benchmark design, reproducible protocols, and clinical deployment — developing emerging benchmarks that diagnose robustness, generalization, and evidence consistency for high-stakes clinical settings.
All deadlines are at 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE). Dates will be announced soon.
A half-day program with four invited talks, a poster session with coffee break, best-paper oral spotlight, and a closing panel discussion.

We invite submissions on all topics related to medical foundation models and benchmarking. The workshop features two submission tracks to broaden participation:
Full papers in ECCV format. All papers will be reviewed via a standard double-blind OpenReview workflow by a dedicated program committee. Conflicts of interest handled per ECCV workshop policies. Accepted papers included in the workshop program for poster presentation.
Submission deadline: Jun 10'26 11:59 PM (AoE)
Papers already published and peer-reviewed at major CV/ML conferences or journals. Submissions will not be re-reviewed — the main criteria are topical fit and poster-board availability. Authors submit a link to the paper via the workshop's OpenReview page.
Submission deadline: Jun 17'26 11:59 PM (AoE)
