About SwyMIC
Founded in 2021, the Swiss youngESMI Group aims to create and establish a young Swiss network of dedicated imaging scientists.
Though there are many excellent research groups in Switzerland, there has not yet been a common, informal, open platform for young(er) imaging scientists to connect. Particularly in such a multidisciplinary field, it is crucial to make contacts, be inspired and supported by peers, and to build up a broad network – already early in your career.
Through networking activities, SwyMIC provides an environment to broaden and share knowledge and resources in the field of molecular imaging, and to interact in an easy and informal setting.
Aims
- Bringing young scientists in the field together to share knowledge and foster collaboration
- Offer an overview of regional research opportunities in academia and industry
- To attract young scientists into the field of molecular imaging and the ESMI community
- Create an informal and fun environment to share ideas and skills to advance the molecular imaging field.
SwyMIC Leadership
- Eirinaios Pilatis, Bern (Chair)
- Lennard Wendlinger – Lausanne (former Chair)
- Alexandra Litvinenko – Lausanne (Co-Chair)

Looking Back | SwyMIC Past Events
27 October 2025: SwyMIC Day in Lausanne.
Over 30 participants from a wide variety of fields joined the 2025 SwyMIC Day, presenting great science, encouraging lively discussions and establishing future collaborations. We had an amazing day with our wonderfully dynamic Swiss imaging science community.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, contributed, and all in all made the day a great success.
And congratulations to Jérôme Schmid who won this year’s best presentation award for his work on “Optimization of uPAR-targeting radiopeptides for improved tissue distribution.”
22 November 2024: SwyMIC Day in Bern.
7 November 2023: Guided visit to the Paul-Scherer Institute in Villingen – the largest research centre for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland
3 March 2023: Swiss pre-EMIM meeting to practice presentations for the EMIM 2023 in Salzburg, to meet, and enlarge your network
7 December 2022: Neuroimaging Career Event in co-operation with the Neuro-Imaging Study Group on 7 December 2022 (online)
23 September 2022: SwyMIC’s first in-person event was a guided tour through CERN. The tour was followed by an aperó. Thanks to all who participated. It certainly was a wonderful start to further streghthen the Swiss (young) imaging science community.
