THANKS for a great meeting in Dublin, thanks for your talks, posters, your participation and all the discussions – thanks for sharing our vision that interdisciplinary knowledge exchange is the basis for innovation!
The WMIC 2012 took place in Dublin. The ESMI didn’t organise a separate European Molecular Imaging Meeting that year; the WMIC 2012 was also the annual meeting of the ESMI – the EMIM 2012.
Programme
It is with pleasure that the ESMI treasurer Bernd Pichler from Tuebingen, Germany was the Programme Chair of the congress. He was supported by the entire Committee, and all the chair persons, speakers, and scientists from all over the world who will submit their abstract!
Fabian Kiessling from Aachen, Germany was the Chairperson for the Educational Sessionsin Dublin together with Robert Gillies from Tampa, US. Thanks to all of you for your commitment, efforts, thoughts, and inspiration!
We succeed in attracting high-level experts who are sharing our ambition and helped us to develop an excellent educational concept.

Educational Sessions
The WMIC started with the Educational Sessions on Wednesday 5 September 2012.
We have beenm excited to emphasise the importance of the educational part by developing a new concept based on a three year concept developed by outstanding scientists covering the main topics
- Chemistry of contrast media
- What life scientists should know about imaging modalities
- Postprocessing and Cross Validation
- Biology and Pathology
We succeed in attracting high-level experts who are sharing our ambition and helped us to develop an excellent educational concept.
