Agenda

International Partnering Event on Medical Imaging

Biomedical imaging refers to medical imaging techniques used in biology, including molecular imaging and cellular imaging. Medical imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to create images of the human body (or parts thereof) for clinical purposes or medical science. Biological noninvasive imaging methods can play an important role in translational research bringing scientific discoveries into the clinic and clinical findings. To achieve such results international collaborative research is needed.

Several European programmes offer opportunities to fund collaborative projects on the topic: Framework Programme 7 (Cooperation theme Health, Cooperation theme NMP, Research for the Benefit of SMEs), EUREKA, Eurostars, and the Joint Technology Initiative Innovative Medicines (IMI).

This partnering event will offer you the opportunity to expose/meet project ideas and build consortia in view of responding to the calls of these programmes.

The event will be opened to 8-10 European regions. FlandersBio supports this event by representing the Flemish region. IWT, the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders and UWE, the National Contact Point of Wallonie, are the main organizers of this event.

Registration is free but mandatory. To register, please use the registration form which can be found below this invitation. If you encounter problems or have additional questions, please contact Hilde Van Raemdonck (hilde.vanraemdonck@flandersbio.be; 09 241 80 45). Please note that participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
