Description
This workshop will highlight the role of infrastructures and innovation in enabling breakthroughs in nuclear science for health applications. It will explore challenges in R&D for nuclear medicine and its translation into the market. Novel production routes will be presented along with an overview of existing and new nuclear infrastructures. The sustainable development and supply of radiopharmaceuticals will be a key focus to maintain the EU’s long-term leadership in medical radionuclide supply.
The workshop will be held as a hybrid event and can also be followed via Webex.
