The DIVERSE European University Alliance announces the project Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme in Medical Imaging and Biomedical Systems with Applied AI (MedImAI), which has been submitted for financing to 2026 call.
The MedImAI project is coordinated by George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Targu Mures, Romania.
In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the convergence of medical imaging, biomedical systems and artificial intelligence is transforming diagnosis, treatment and clinical decision-making. Recognising this, the DIVERSE European University Alliance is developing an innovative Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Programme in Medical Imaging and Biomedical Systems with Applied AI (MedImAI), aimed at addressing the growing need for interdisciplinary professionals capable of navigating complex, data- driven healthcare environments. The quality and relevance of the proposal led the European Commission to support its design phase, during which the DIVERSE Alliance and its international partners will finalise all academic, organisational and governance components — from curriculum design and teaching teams to mobility pathways and quality assurance frameworks.
The programme will integrate expertise in advanced medical imaging technologies, biomedical systems engineering and applied artificial intelligence, with a strong focus on data-driven clinical decision support. It will equip students to analyse complex biomedical data, apply AI-enabled solutions and understand their clinical, ethical and regulatory implications. By placing artificial intelligence at the core of medical imaging and biomedical systems education, the programme addresses a clear gap in the current academic landscape and responds to increasing labour-market demand for professionals capable of supporting the digital transformation of healthcare systems.
Students will develop advanced analytical and interdisciplinary competencies, the ability to evaluate and implement AI-based solutions in clinical contexts, and the capacity to contribute to safe, innovative and sustainable healthcare systems. These skills will significantly enhance employability across hospitals, research institutions, the MedTech industry, digital health ecosystems and international organisations, preparing graduates to operate effectively in a rapidly changing global healthcare environment.
The programme is being developed by a consortium of higher education institutions within the DIVERSE European University Alliance, together with an international partner and supported by clinical institutions, ensuring a strong link between academia and real healthcare environments.
