University of Latvia, House of Nature
Registration for the Event
Registration for the School has finished! Nevertheless, you can still register for the on-line Public Event on Friday 21st of February. For more information on the Public Event, please consult the informaiton here.
Abstract submission for Scientific Sessions has finished!
About the Event
The school brings together medical doctors, radiology and nuclear medicine trainees, radiology assistants and radiographers, young researchers and Master and PhD students in nuclear medicine, physics and chemistry from Baltics and Europe with the aim to introduce the latest trends in radiopharmaceutical sciences, including radiolabelled chemistry, synthesis and dosimetry. The event includes theoretical lectures, scientific sessions and a public event.
The course will also include a visit to the Cyclotron facility in Riga and a social programme. Overall, trainees will acquire scientific knowledge to understand the most important aspects in radiochemistry, nuclear medicine, theranostics especially in precision medicine context.
The course is organized as part of the PRISMAP project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No 101008571 (PRISMAP).
Target audience
The school is aimed for medical doctors, residents and trainees in radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology, radiology assistants and radiographers, young researchers and Master and PhD students in nuclear medicine, physics and chemistry. A maximum number of 50 participants will be considered. Applicants must be fluent in English, as all lectures will be delivered in English.
CMEs for medical specialists
By participation in the event, medical specialists are eligible to acquire CME credits. For further information, please, refer to corresponding section of the event page.
