Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to join us in the vibrant and historic city of Beijing for the 15th the International Workshop on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IWMPI 2026 –- www.iwmpi.org). There is no better place to foster the future of our dynamic field than in a city that so beautifully harmonizes ancient tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
Authors are invited to submit either a two-page proceedings paper or a full paper (usually more than five pages) to the IWMPI latest on October 26, 2025. There will be no deadline extension to not delay the reviewing process. Accepted prodeedings papers will be published online in the Supplement of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IJMPI). Accepted full papers will be published online in the regular issue of the IJMPI. Contributions will be accepted only if the Word or Latex template is used accurately. Templates can be found here. The contributions will be peer-reviewed and published online in the upcoming Volume 11 (2025) of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging available during workshop.
