It is not only the Gemelli University Hospital but the entire surgical academic community that has lost a giant this week. Professor Giovanni Scambia was an exceptional surgeon and an inspiring figure in the field. The entire IRCAD Family pay their tribute to him, he will be deeply missed.
We were delighted to welcome twenty students from Télécom Brest and Télécom Paris (Ecole d’Hiver en Robotique Médicale – Master IRIV), accompanied by Prof. Michel de Mathelin (Télécom Physique Strasbourg). After a presentation of IRCAD by Dr. Michel Vix, the students had the opportunity to discover our different robotic platforms. Many thanks to them for […]

This agreement establishes a connection with the ambitious NEOM Health project, represented by Dr. Mahmoud Alyamani, Wellbeing & Biotech […]

We would like to draw your attention that the « Vaccine Pass » is now mandatory in France since end of January 2022 and replaces the former « Health Pass » to access places that are open to the public, such as cinemas, museums, cafés and restaurants, hotels as well as the IRCAD Institute which welcomes participants in the framework of its courses and seminars. Thus, a PCR test without vaccination is no longer sufficient to take part in our courses.
The vaccine pass includes a proof of the following (one of the 3 items is sufficient):
Further information about the new vaccine pass can be found at :
We very much hope to be able to count on your kind understanding of those rules which have been set by the French Government and which our Institute is required to apply
