The goal of EXPLIMED is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for healthcare and medical applications. The workshop aims to foster discussion on transparent, trustworthy, and human-centered AI methods for clinical decision support, medical data analysis, and healthcare practice.
We warmly welcome submissions presenting methodologies, applications, case studies, preliminary findings, and emerging perspectives related to XAI in the medical domain.

Please note that this year EXPLIMED will be held in conjunction with the EASi (Explainable AI in Space) workshop.
EASi focuses on XAI methods for space and mission-critical applications, including satellite operations, Earth observation, autonomous systems, and space safety. In addition, EASi 2026 will host the Space Debris Challenge, dedicated to AI and XAI methods for monitoring, detecting, and analyzing space debris and related risks in orbital environments. https://sites.google.com/view/easi-explimed/easi/ai-competition
EASi Workshop Organizers: Jakub Nalepa; Przemyslaw Biecek; Nicolas Longépé; Agata M. Wijata; Evridiki Ntagiou; Marek Kraft; Lukasz Tulczyjew; Krzysztof Kotowski
We look forward to your submissions and to welcoming you to EXPLIMED 2026 in Bremen.
