International Conference on
IMAGING25
September 22 – 25, 2025
University of Milano-Bicocca, September 22, 2025: dedicated to students and trainings in imaging and
Villa Monastero, Varenna, Italy September 23 – 25, 2025: full conference

Imaging has become a paradigmatic and irreplaceable investigation tool in many scientific fields. Besides, X-ray, neutron and nuclear medicine imaging, combined with advanced image reconstruction and analysis techniques, also exploiting artificial intelligence-based approaches, permit to obtain planar and 3D information on the inner morphological, chemical and functional characteristics of the samples, in fields like Medicine, Biology, Cultural Heritage and Astrophysics.
The workshop seeks to identify common approaches across different fields of research, techniques and scale lengths.

Topics that will be covered:

  • Technical approaches to imaging techniques
  • Multi-parametric molecular imaging
  • Imaging for the Heritage Science
  • Imaging for Homeland security
  • Image formation and processing
  • Algorithms for image reconstruction and analysis, also based on Artificial Intelligence

The Conference strongly encourages participation by young scientists.
The program will include invited oral presentations and posters.

ACCOMODATION

Please consider that the conference will take place during the high tourist season and that there are only a few medium-priced hotels in Varenna with limited accommodation capacity.
There are also several Bed&Breakfast in and around Varenna.

The organizing secretariat is only able to offer accomodation to a very limited number of participants (see options below).
For more options in Varenna, see the Tourist Office website here

We therefore recommend booking accomodation well in advance.
