EANM Alavi-Carlsen Award
Following the launch of our new EANM journals in August 2025, we proudly launched the EANM Alavi-Carlsen Award.
Aim:
The EANM Alavi-Carlsen Award recognises outstanding publications in one of the two EANM journals by young professionals under the age of 38 at the time of publication.
Eligibility:
- The research must be published in one of the EANM journals (The EANM Journal or EANM Innovation) in the calendar year before the award is granted.
- The first or corresponding author must be a nuclear medicine scientist younger than 38 years at the time of publication.
- Only original research articles are eligible (reviews, guidelines, position papers, editorials, or “hotspot” articles are excluded).
Prize:
For each journal, one prize of €4,000 will be awarded. The prize must be used for scientific development or training within institutions in Europe.
Process:
When submitting their research to the EANM journals, authors will have the option to indicate their interest in being considered for the award directly in the Editorial Manager system.
A dedicated jury of EANM experts, including the Editors-in-Chief of the EANM journals, will evaluate all eligible submissions. Two winners will be selected each year – one per journal.
The winners will be presented at the EANM’26 congress.
Background:
Apart from supporting young scientists in nuclear medicine research, the award honours the legacy of two pioneers who have shaped the field: Abass Alavi and Poul Flemming Høilund-Carlsen.
With a career spanning more than five decades, Alavi spent most of his time at the University of Pennsylvania, becoming one of the most influential figures in the history of medical imaging. Høilund-Carlsen is likewise a leading voice in nuclear medicine, known for advancing PET/CT imaging through both innovation and critical debate on the interpretation and application of imaging in clinical practice.
You can find out more about them and how they have shaped the field here.
