FINYS - French Imaging Network of young Scientists

young ESMI groups
A youngESMI group is part of the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI) focussing on a region/country but is not limited to. A yESMI group is initiated by students and young researcher and open to all young members of the ESMI. It is a “bottom-up” initiative which shall promote the formation of a regional network of young imaging scientists. HISTORY of FINYS
France Life Imaging (FLI) is a proposed large-scale research infrastructure project aimed at establishing a coordinated and harmonized network of biomedical imaging in France. Amongst others FLI is aiming at removing future employment barriers by
• gathering students from different French and European laboratories during their PhD thesis and providing them with transversal skills and network that will increase their adaptability to a real and competitive industrial environment;
• strengthening connections between the academic and industrial research sectors;
• facilitating student’s career planning and professional integration after completion of the PhD. All partners were receptive to this message and decided to create a network, gathering students and young scientists from the different fields of Imaging Science.
