Dear Dr. Bakas and BraTS organizing team, I am a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence student at FAST-NU Islamabad, Pakistan (Student ID: 25I-7621), conducting thesis research on federated learning and explainable AI for brain metastases segmentation. The MICCAI 2026 BraTS challenge registration has closed, but I am requesting post-challenge academic access to the BraTS-METS 2026 training data (Synapse project syn74274097, Task 1) for non-commercial research use only. Intended use: FL + XAI framework for pre/post-treatment brain metastases segmentation. Target publication: Q1 journal (Computers in Biology and Medicine). Supervisor: Mr. Muhammad Atif Saeed, FAST-NU. I accept all DUA terms. Could you please grant access to the training data or advise on the correct procedure for post-challenge access? Thank you Haseeb
