ISLE Academy

We are proud to share a milestone for ISLE Academy.

ATHENA-MIBS 2026 — an advanced course in robotic breast surgery — which we helped co-develop, will be hosted at our facilities this June, under the auspices of the University of Athens and the scientific direction of Dr. I. Papapanagiotou.

Days 1 and 2 bring hands-on technical training, simulation, docking, and full system practice right here at ISLE Academy. On Day 3, our da Vinci systems move to the ATTC cadaveric lab for surgical practice under expert faculty guidance.

This is the kind of collaboration we are here for — and we do not take it lightly.

📅 26–28 June 2026 · Athens
👨‍⚕️ 4 operator spots · 8 observer places
⚠️ Limited places due to the hands-on nature of the course.

Colleagues from Greece and abroad are warmly invited to join us for what promises to be an exceptional academic and surgical experience.

🔬 A new milestone moment for surgical education in Greece.

ISLE Academy was proud to be part of the 𝟯𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 (𝗘𝗦𝗙𝗜𝗘) — held in 𝗜𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗮, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟰–𝟮𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 — one of the most dynamic medical student conferences in the country, bringing together the next generation of healthcare professionals from across Greece and beyond.

Our contribution this year: the workshop "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀" — an immersive, hands-on session using the 4th generation Da Vinci Xi that gave participants direct access to the 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶 𝗫𝗶 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 and a firsthand look at the transformative potential of robotic surgery.

But we didn't stop there. Attendees also had the exclusive opportunity to experience 𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗥 — our proprietary virtual reality application that offers a cutting-edge digital twin simulation of robotic surgical systems, designed to accelerate learning and reduce the curve to surgical proficiency.

We are grateful to our team, the organizers of the 32nd ESFIE, and to every participant who brought their curiosity, commitment, and energy to this experience. The future of surgery is in capable hands.

A note for those who've been following along — with a little throwback. 👋

We've been sharing a lot about the Athens Workshop on Leadership IV over the past weeks, and we know many of you have been considering it. This time, instead of telling you what to expect, we thought we'd show you.

The photos below are from our previous editions — the sessions, the reactions, the dinners, the conversations that continued long after the day ended.

That's what two days in Athens with Harvard faculty actually looks like.

The IV Edition takes place May 18–19, 2026 at Domotel Kastri Hotel, Athens, with Prof. Boris Groysberg and Prof. Rawi Abdelal leading the program.

Standard registration is open until April 30. After that, last-call pricing applies.

If you've been on the fence — we hope this helps.
