The European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and the Turkish Medical Informatics Association (TurkMIA), annonced the 25th European Medical Informatics Conference - MIE2014 - which will be held in Istanbul, Turkey. Keynotes, scientific sessions, thematic workshops and panels, short communications and tutorials will constitute the traditional backbone of the conference. In parallel, special "partnership for innovation" tracks and round tables will be organized to get the best from the synergy between the scientific/industrial/political world. Various kinds of contributions are solicited and welcome in order to provide MIE2014 attendees a stage for active participation.
In addition MIE2014 will offer national, regional and European projects and initiatives the opportunity to demonstrate their results in the "Village of the Future" that will be hosted during the conference.
The MIE2014 Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) invites contributions in the form of:
- Full papers
