[Gate-users] Workshop: Quantitative Imaging and Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine, September 24-27 2008

[Manuel Bardies]

Dear Colleagues,

The ?Tumour targeting network? of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is glad to announce the second workshop dedicated to young scientists working in tumour targeting in Europe.

This workshop is directed towards PhD Students and Post-Docs working in Europe.
After the success of the first iteration, it was decided to keep the focus of the workshop within the field of Quantitative Imaging and Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine.As compared to last year, and due to feed back from attendees,  more attention will be put on quantitative imaging, for example by organising 2 sessions on clinical quantitative imaging, 2 sessions on preclinical quantitative imaging, and one on dosimetry.

This event will take place in the Morbihan gulf in Brittany, on the island Berder, from the 24th to the 27th of September.

The main objective of this workshop is to allow PhD students and  Post-Docs to present and discuss their work. This is facilitated by the sponsoring of the Cancéropôle Grand Ouest that provides travel grants.
The total attendance is limited to a maximum of 50 persons in order to preserve fruitful exchanges and allow for a light infrastructure.
A maximum of 25 grants will be delivered to PhD students and Post-Docs, covering accommodation and a participation to travel expenses up to ?250.

Registration will be made on a first served basis + selection of oral presentations. Young scientists willing to benefit from a grant are requested to send an abstract presenting their current research projects and results. Abstract selection will be made upon the scientific quality of proffered abstracts while trying to insure a broad representation of students throughout Europe. Since the number of attendees is limited, an early registration is strongly advised.
