Dear @BraTSLighthouse2025Participants , @BraTSLighthouse2025Preregistrants , Thanks to your recent requests and feedback! The BraTS organizing team is happy to announce a few adjustments to our timeline: The short paper submission deadline has been extended. You now have until **July 31st **to continue developing your model, uploading your validation results, and submitting your manuscript (the previous deadline was July 20th). This is a strict, **hard deadline** and there will be no further extensions. Docker submissions will now begin on **July 28th** (originally planned for July 20th). The deadline for Docker submissions is still** August 7th**. _**All other dates in the BraTS timeline remain the same**._ Best regards, BraTS Organization Team

@astaraki just following up again about data access, do you know when the data will be uploaded to TCIA as referenced here? https://www.synapse.org/Synapse:syn64153130/wiki/631048
@astaraki I believe that the MICCAI 2025 conference is over as of today, however I am still unable to access the BraTS 2025 data. Could you help me to get access to the data? Thanks!
Hi @zndr27 Thanks for reaching out. Please note that the development and testing phase of this year's BraTS challenge has been closed. Access to the training data will be granted again after the BraTS satellite event at the MICCAI conference. Best regards, /Mehdi
Hello @astaraki, I am trying to access the data for the 2025 challenge. I tried registering but it said that registration is closed. When will the data be made available? Also, I previously had access to Mets data from 2023 and 2024 challenges, but they were archived. Will those be made available again or it will that data be part of the 2025 dataset?
Hello, @astaraki Thanks for your help. I wanted to ask if the docker container I will submit need to be run in privileged mode , is this fine?
Dear @dr.amin.tavallaii, Thank you for reaching out. We understand the challenges, but with a large number of Docker image submissions across 11 tasks, the execution and evaluation process is already on a very tight schedule. Therefore, unfortunately, we are unable to extend the model submission deadline at this time. If there is a change to this decision, we will let you know. Wish you the best of luck with your submission. Best regards, Mehdi
Dear @astaraki, Thank you for your ongoing help and support. I have submitted my short paper before its deadline, but I am working on a few tweaks and improvements, and my Docker image may not be ready for upload before August 7th. Do you think it would be possible to extend the August 7th deadline for Docker submission for a few days, as you have kindly done with the short paper submission deadline? We will be so thankful if you give us this opportunity. Best, Amin Tavallaii
Hi @sheikhecetufail The submission deadline for the Docker image is August 7th. You can push more than one image to synapse registry, but please note that only the last version will be executed. Best, /Mehdi
Thanks for the response. I have a query. Will we be allowed Docker submission only once or multiple times for testing?? Thanks
thank you
I accidentally submitted a segmentation result file through the Docker option (I overlooked the "docker" indication in parentheses) while intending to perform a validation. I realized this mistake when I saw the Docker process (#9756254) in the Submission Dashboard. Could you kindly help cancel this submission? Sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Hi @ShadowTwin41, Sure, the validation sibmission platform will be re-openned soon and remain active until August 7th. Thanks for your patience, /Mehdi
Hi @sheikhecetufail, No, you don't need to apply any changes. If something is needed, we will contact you. Regards, /Mehdi
Hello! Just noticed that it's not possible to submit validation files anymore. I would like to test if the results of my docker have similar results to the ones I have already. Would it be possible to open the validation submission phase again? Thank you!
Hi @ashley_daud Pathology papers should be submitted in the "Classification" track. /Mehdi
After submitting on CMT, it's showing EDIT CONFLICT OF INTERESTS with the name of Ujjwal Baid SGGSIET Nanded with selected conflicts NO and an edit option. Do I need to make any changes??? Thanks
hello, i am struggling to upload my short paper submission, can someone get back to me asap on how to submit please. Im doing the BRATS-PATH 2025 Task 10
Thanks for the response. I have a query. Will we be allowed Docker submission only once or multiple times?? Thanks
Hi @_abbas_ You can upload the PDF version of your paper so you do not need to submit both .docs and .pdf now. Best, /Mehdi
Please can i ask. For the short paper . 1- What is the format of the paper docx ,pdf or both
Hi @Pilmaut Here is an update regarding your question: The evaluation platform will continue accepting submissions until **August 7th**. ./Mehdi
Hi @sheikhecetufail, There are a large number of submissions for the GLI task, so there are some jobs awaiting in the evaluation queue. I can see two jobs under your username that have been submitted. Please note that all the jobs that are submitted before the deadline will be evaluated. Best regards, /Mehdi
@bheeshmsharma1 Please note that all the deadlines are for 23:59 UTC. /Mehdi
Thank you for the extension. Could you please clarify which time zone is going to be followed for the paper submission deadline? Thanks
Respected Organisers, Can you please share why the Task 1 validation submissions are not being evaluated?? @astaraki @AlexMod56 Thanks
Hi @python8723 Thanks for reaching out. 1 - Please submit your manuscript to the "Progression" track. 2 - The Synthesis track in CMT covers both local inpainting and global synthesis submissions. 3 - For transparency and reproducibility purposes, please specify all the details in your paper, as much as possible, including additional dataset, and/or pre-trained model. Best regards, /Mehdi
Hi @Pilmaut Please note that the evaluation platform will continue accepting submissions until August 7th. After this date, no further submissions for the validation phase will be accepted. The computational resources will be exclusively dedicated to running and evaluating the submitted Docker containers for the testing phase. Information regarding the reopening of the evaluation queue after the testing phase will be communicated at a later time. Best regards, /Mehdi
Dear Organizers, I understand that submission to participate in the challenges will be closed, but will we be able to continue using the evaluation platform? Or will there be another evaluation platform open? Thank you in advance
Dear Organizers, I have the following inquires regarding the short challenge paper submission: 1- When submitting the short challenge paper for task 11 (Predicting the Tumor Response During Therapy) which track should we submit to? Progression or Classification? 2- For Task8 (MR Image Inpainting for BraTS), when we tried to submit to the Synthesis track ( there is no option to select which sub-challenge. or task we are submitting for , since we have Task 8 and 9 both falls under the Image synthesis Track). should we indicate which specific task we are submitting to in any other part of our submission? 3- For the section of the **Additional Dataset** , if we are using a pre-trained model on some public dataset (in Task 11) should we mention these dataset? ( We have not used it in our training recipe, we utilized the weights directly) Thank you in advance.
Hi @lulululu They should be submitted as a single-blind paper, i.e. you don't not need to anonymize the papers. Best, /Mehdi
Dear organizers, Does the short paper need to be anonymous? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hi @joeyx, We try to fix this issue by later this evening, and the validation portal will continue accepting submissions until July 31st. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best, /Mehdi
Hi @astaraki, When I sumbit my validation results, the sumbission page says " It is currently outside of the time range allowed for submissions." How can I solve it, or just waiting for the re-open of the alidation portal? Best, Joey
Hi @sam_challenge_t7, Yes, the validation portal will be open until July 31st. Best, /Mehdi
Thank you for the extension! Is the validation submission portal going to be closed? It would be great if it were open until the deadline for the short paper.
