European Society for Molecular Imaging - ESMI

The European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI) represents the scientific community involved in multidisciplinary molecular imaging science. This includes basic, preclinical, translational, and clinical research on imaging technologies, methodologies, biomarkers and probes, modelling and data analysis. Central to its mission is the creation of a collaborative community to pursue new ideas to image biological processes. ESMI strives to foster the discovery and validation of imaging concepts to understand physiology and disease as well as the development of therapeutic strategies. The core value and competence of the ESMI is the integration and representation of all imaging modalities and relevant disciplines. The ESMI – led by international leaders in the field and dedicated to scientific excellence, innovation, integration, and education – shapes the present and future of imaging science by: • Strengthening the multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral imaging science community by providing an inclusive, international, and dynamic platform for collaboration. • Providing a forum for continuous education, exchange of knowledge, and best practices at the highest scientific level. • Offering the early-career scientists including students, postdocs, and technicians, a supportive and dynamic environment to participate and shape the future of the field and continue to be an integral part of the ESMI. • Stimulating alliances with other fields to promote exchange of knowledge and innovation. • Supporting and advocating multi-national policy initiatives that could benefit from or influence molecular imaging research in relation to funding strategies and decision-making processes.
