The young Spanish molecular imaging network (youngSMIN) is a pioneering molecular imaging community in Spain that aims to promote the formation of a network of young scientists working in the field of molecular imaging. SMIN welcomes researchers working in all imaging modalities and will offer MSc/PhD students and early career post-docs an easy and friendly entry into the imaging community. In this sense, SMIN pursues to attract Spanish imaging scientists to the ESMI in order to strengthen the imaging community in Europe

OBJECTIVES:

• To bring together the young Spanish imaging community in order to create a pioneering regional network.
• To create a knowledge hub for molecular imaging built on a multidisciplinary team of researchers with background in biology, chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology and physics, among others.
• To foster collaborations between different laboratories within the network.
• To organize scientific meetings and workshops in the field open to the Spanish imaging community.
• To provide an overview of Spanish research activity in the field of molecular imaging.
• To attract young Spanish imaging scientists to the ESMI.

ySMIN will promote the formation of a Spanish network of young scientists’ working in the field of imaging science and attract its members to the ESMI in order to strengthen the imaging cmmunity in Europe.
