# Outreach, Adoption, and Education  
Working Group

Mission Statement

This working group formed by merging the former Outreach and Adoption Working Group with the former Education Working Group. It covers both sides of that merge: the learning materials that get people started with MONAI, and the community work that brings them in. Much of the material already exists, so most of the effort goes into reorganizing and maintaining it rather than writing from scratch.

## Initiatives

### Learning Materials

-   • A revamp of the tutorials repository into clear learning paths
-   • An introductory series pairing short theory with runnable notebooks
-   • Reusable lecture decks in executive and technical versions
-   • Existing documentation reorganized for clarity

### Community and Adoption

-   • Announcements through the website, LinkedIn, and mailing lists
-   • MONAI and MedTech Days, bootcamps, workshops, and MICCAI
-   • Success stories from people building on MONAI
-   • Recruiting educators and contributors into the group
