PRISMAP School on radionuclide production

Overview of the Summer School

Radionuclide production is the first step in the production of any radiopharmaceutical product. It is governed by many physical and technical aspects, most of them highly intertwined with one another. In this school, we shall go back to the basics, always keeping the final goal in perspective, to better understand how to guide ourselves in the growing field of medical radionuclides.

Note that this school precedes the EURORIB Conference, which will be held the week after at Center Parcs De Vossemeren in Lommel, offering a unique chance to introduce yourself to those topics prior to joining this conference.

Agenda
