Research Institute Against Digestive Cancer / Institut de Recherche contre les Cancers de l'Appareil Digestif (IRCAD)

Every year, for the benefit of patients, IRCAD trains thousands of surgeons from all over the world with the best experts in the most advanced techniques of minimally invasive surgery, in Strasbourg but also remotely, thanks to its unique model of virtual university that is completely free (WebSurg) and its hybrid courses. In addition to laparoscopic training, IRCAD is also the largest training center for robotic surgery in the world.

In parallel to its training activity, the impressive number of scientific publications testifies to a cutting-edge research activity in the surgical field. The strength of the teams lies in their diversity and cooperation: engineers, researchers and fellows work hand in hand in the service of the patient, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence.
