Global IR Summit

On the occasion of CIRSE 2026 in Copenhagen, CIRSE and SIR will be hosting the 6th Global IR Summit, bringing together the leadership of national and regional IR societies from around the world for an interactive exchange of ideas and experiences.

The Summit will be co-moderated by Philippe L. Pereira, Robert Morgan, and Sanjeeva Kalva and will feature presentations and discussions with representatives of IR societies from across the globe.

Boosting IR’s Visibility Among Medical Students

This year’s theme, “Boosting IR’s visibility among medical students”, focuses on one of the IR’s key challenges today: how to inspire and engage the next generation of interventional radiologists, to ensure our discipline keeps thriving in the future. The session will provide a platform for society leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities involved in increasing awareness of IR among medical students. Discussions will examine the current level of IR visibility and representation within undergraduate medical education, while highlighting successful strategies, outreach programmes, and practical initiatives that have proven effective in promoting IR as a career path.

CIRSE and SIR are grateful for the participation of all societies that will present the current state of IR visibility and awareness in their country or region, and share best practice examples: APSCVIR, CAIR, CCI, IRSA, ISVIR, JSIR, KSIR, PAIRS, SAFIRE, SIDI, SOBRICE.
