2025 Edition

Participants arrive in the morning, with the scientific programme starting at 11:00. The meeting starts with an icebreaker activity and an informal interview with the faculty to create a welcoming atmosphere and enhance participant interaction.

Afterwards, participants present their project and receive feedback from the faculty and fellow attendees on scientific content and presentation skills. Presentations will be done in 5 blocks of 2 presentations to allow ample time for discussion and interaction after each block. The first day is concluded with a social event with dinner to network among peers.

The second day starts with a group debate about hurdles and barriers that participants encounter in their early careers. This debate is followed by a workshop on delivering powerful elevator pitches. Finally, a presentation on how to get published in high-impact journals concludes the meeting.

The YIM offers a unique platform to showcase your research on this topic. In addition, you will be able to:

• Deepen your scientific knowledge
• Enhance your communications and presentation skills
• Receive valuable feedback from faculty members and peers
• Expand your network by connecting with nuclear medicine and AI experts

The YIM’25 will also enable you to contribute to the rapidly evolving field of AI-driven diagnostics, imaging, and personalised treatment.

With advancements in AI transforming every facet of healthcare, nuclear medicine stands at a pivotal juncture. AI is enabling unprecedented precision in imaging analysis, predictive modeling for patient outcomes, and automating workflows that improve both accuracy and efficiency. As we confront challenges such as integrating AI with clinical practice, data privacy, and the ethical use of AI-driven decision-making, the contributions of early-career researchers like you are crucial to unlock AI’s full potential. By combining AI’s analytical power with nuclear medicine’s diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, young scientists are pioneering new paths from ‘bytes’ in data to impactful ‘bedside’ applications.

• Fulfillment of the application criteria.
• Relevance of the research topic with the meeting’s theme.
• Quality of the submitted abstract: relevance of the clinical topic, clear hypothesis, sound scientific methodology and analysis, feasibility of the project, and potential for clinical translation. The reported (preliminary) results will not be the primary selection criteria.
• Personal statement quality.

The winner of the YIM’25 event will be selected based on the quality of their research abstract, presentation, and overall engagement during the event.

The winner will receive:

• • A research award of €2,500 (paid to the host institution/department).
  • Free registration, travel (max. €350), and accommodation (max. 2 nights, €350/night) for the EANM’25 congress in Barcelona, Spain.
  • An invitation to present their research at the EANM’25.
