Where ideas become collaboration.
YODA brings together clinicians, researchers, engineers and innovators through conferences, masterclasses, workshops and scientific discussions designed to advance intensive care.
The greatest advances in medicine did not begin in isolation. They began with people exchanging ideas at bedsides and blackboards, questioning inherited assumptions, and reading each other's work with generous, disciplined skepticism.
Intensive care is a field of small rooms and immense consequence. Its progress depends on convening — physiologists with engineers, clinicians with data scientists, residents with those who trained a generation before them.
YODA Events are the places where that convening happens: rigorous, editorial, international, and free of the noise that surrounds the field.
Every meeting is an opportunity to improve patient care.
A constellation of recurring meetings — each with a defined scientific character, audience and editorial voice.
The flagship gathering of the YODA community — a week of scientific keynotes, working-group sessions and open collaboration on the future of intensive care.
A focused symposium on mechanistic, physiology-driven critical care — from lung mechanics to microcirculation and neuro-cardio-pulmonary coupling.
Where clinical need meets engineering. Prototypes, translational science and industry collaboration presented in an editorial, non-commercial format.
A yearly convening on trustworthy, explainable and clinically-validated AI at the bedside — models, evidence, deployment and responsibility.
Hands-on sessions on reproducible research, shared protocols, federated datasets and open publication practices in critical care.
A dedicated stage for early-career clinicians and scientists — first talks, first papers, first international collaborations.
Intensive, scenario-based training in mechanical ventilation, hemodynamics, sepsis resuscitation and post-arrest care with structured debrief.
A recurring international grand rounds broadcast — one complex case, one physiological reading, one shared discussion across continents.
An interactive timeline of upcoming YODA meetings. Filter by year, category or format — every event is CMS-ready and internationally coordinated.
Between the flagship gatherings, YODA runs a year-round program of sessions — small, focused, and open to every member.
One month, one physiological question, one international speaker.
Structured, evidence-first reading of the papers reshaping the ICU.
Ongoing multi-centre working groups shaping the next studies.
Complex clinical cases opened to mechanistic, cross-disciplinary reading.
Short editorial sessions from YODA Labs — from prototype to bedside.
Senior scientists and clinicians on the direction of the field.
A continuous curriculum for residents in critical care.
Reproducibility, transparency and shared infrastructure — in practice.
YODA gatherings are drawn together not by geography but by discipline — the shared physiological questions that make a global scientific community coherent.
YODA co-organizes editorial, non-commercial scientific gatherings with institutions worldwide. Six pathways, one shared standard for scientific rigor.
Curriculum, dual-degree tracks and joint scientific programs.

Keynotes, mechanistic sessions and hands-on tracks by international faculty.
Small-room working groups where questions are more valuable than answers.
Meet the co-authors, co-investigators and mentors for what comes next.
Turn the conversation into shared protocols, papers and open outputs.
Move from evidence to tools, prototypes and clinically-validated systems.
Every meeting closes back at the bedside — where the field is measured.
An editorial archive — reserved for original photography from YODA gatherings. No stock imagery. Ready for CMS integration.
Keynote stages, plenary halls, editorial portraits.
Hands-on ventilation, ultrasound and simulation labs.
International faculty in mechanistic conversation.
Between the sessions — where collaborations begin.
Young investigators, early findings, first questions.
Cross-disciplinary panels on physiology, AI and care.
