Councils

The Advisory Council provides advice and feedback about the EANM’s current strategy and structure, facilitating the bi-directional flow of information between the Board, the internal groups and the other EANM bodies. It is composed of the Board and the Chairs of the EANM Committees and Councils.

Board

The EANM Education Council is still being formed and will be fully operational starting January 1, 2026.

Mission

The EANM Education Council is tasked with creating a robust strategy to expand the EANM’s educational initiatives, working closely with our ESMIT team.

Council Members

The EANM Education Council is a newly established entity. The formation of its members is currently underway, and its strategic direction is being finalised. Stay tuned for more details about its activities and composition!

Mission

The EANM aim to assist specialists in advancing healthcare and disseminating knowledge. To maintain the integrity of its actions and statements, the EANM prioritises independence and a transparent management of secondary interests. 

Therefore, the EANM has established the Ethics Council to provide ethical oversight over the organisation’s management. The EANM Ethics Council’s mission includes: 

• Developing comprehensive guiding principles, rules of procedures, and standard operating procedures to make sure that the EANM manages secondary interests transparently and objectively. 
• Ensuring that the nuclear medicine professionals holding offices or mandates within the EANM are free from any conflict of interest that could compromise their commitment to the organisation’s mission. 
• Identifying and addressing potential conflict of interest relating to commercial entities or other interest groups that might influence decisions within the framework of EANM.

Mission

The EANM Guidelines & Publications Procedures Council (GPC) is committed to enhancing the quality and impact of EANM publications within our community, with a specific focus on clinical guidelines, procedural/practice guidelines, and expert statements. The GPC aims to provide a structured and strategic approach to developing, standardising, and disseminating high-quality, evidence-based EANM documents.

The GPC aims to support clinicians, technologists, and other stakeholders in the field by offering clear, accessible, and decisive EANM guidelines that reflect the latest advancements and best practices. By fostering collaboration with clinical societies and experts, we ensure that all EANM publications meet rigorous standards of quality and relevance, ultimately improving patient care and professional practice.

The GPC’s objectives include:

• Defining publication types and standards: Establishing clear definitions, scopes, and purposes for each type of EANM publication (ie. clinical guidelines, procedural guides, and expert statements/position papers). The GPC aims to set minimum quality requirements to ensure usability and standardisation across Europe.

• Ensuring methodological rigor: Developing robust methodologies for consensus-building and decision-making to achieve high thresholds of agreement and reliability in our EANM guidelines.

• Effective communication: Enhancing both external and internal communication strategies to raise awareness, promote engagement (including other clinical societies), and align with broader organisational strategies.

By fulfilling these objectives, the GPC is dedicated to driving excellence in guidelines and publications, thereby supporting the continuous improvement of practice standards and outcomes in our field.

Mission

The EANM Policy & Regulatory Affairs Council (PRAC) was established in January 2022 as a multidisciplinary advisory body that meets monthly to support and advise the Board.

PRAC coordinates and implements the EANM’s policy activities at the EU level, in line with the EANM’s strategy. This is achieved through ongoing dialogue with EU policymakers and stakeholders, supporting the fulfillment of the EANM’s overall mission.

Council Members

The EANM Scientific Events Council is still being formed and will be fully operational starting January 1, 2026.

The Scientific Events Council (SEC) will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of EANM’s scientific events. Focusing on fostering multidisciplinary collaborations, spotlighting emerging trends, and introducing innovative formats, the SEC aims to keep EANM at the forefront of nuclear medicine. Through initiatives to enhance public awareness and dynamic, cross-disciplinary events, the SEC will strengthen connections within the nuclear medicine community and inspire both current and future generations. The council’s final composition is still to be determined.

Mission

At the EANM, we recognise the critical need to empower and involve the next generation of nuclear medicine professionals.

The Young Professionals Council (YPC):

• Strategically advises the Board on how to engage and integrate young professionals into the fabric of our association, by proposing dedicated activities and programmes.
• Inspires young professionals and empowers them to contribute to nuclear medicine with their expertise, innovation, and dedicated involvement within the EANM.
• Ensures that EANM initiatives resonate with the aspirations and needs of our young professionals, providing them with visibility and opportunity for growth.
• Closely aligns with other EANM bodies to ensure coherence in programmes and with the EANM Committees for scientific content.
