Details per Session
(certified) Training & Education Sessions
Certified 3R Symposium
(Tuesday 09.00h-15.00h)
6 CPD (Continuous Professional Development) are certified upon full completion (09.00h to 15.00h) and in accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU. The 3R Symposium serves the increasing need for continuous, certified education and training on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes.
However, this course is not only relevant for scientists who need certified continuous education, but certainly for everyone who is concerned with this topic.
Educational Sessions (ES)
(Tuesday 11.30h-15.00h)
- ES 01 | PET Technologies & Radiochemistry
- ES 02 | Cancer Biology
- ES 03 | Intraoperative Imaging
- ES 04 | Quick Guide part 1 on Microscopy & RAMAN, part 2 on MPI & MSI
Plenary & Focus Sessions
Plenary Lectures (PL)
- VALENTIN FUSTER – New York, USA / Madrid, Spain
- NIELS LYNNERUP – Copenhagen, Denmark

Poster Sessions (PO)
(Wednesday & Friday)
Two extended poster sessions are scheduled with no competitive sessions in parallel to enhance discussion and exchange. Posters are grouped in thematic walks, each poster is evaluated by two experts. One poster award per thematic walk is presented during the Closing Session.
Study Group & young ESMI Sessions / Events
Study Group Meetings/Sessions (SG)
(Tuesday 16.45h-19.30h)
10 thematic Study Groups are organizing their interactive, viable group sessions. To continue discussion these sessions are followed by a thematic bar hopping – do not miss to join and read more about Study Groups here.
young ESMI events
(Tuesday 09.00h-11.00h)
Do not miss out the best start into an EMIM: participate in the traditional Science-Speed-Dating by young ESMI! Followed by the Think Tank Sessions – 45 minutes of interactive exchange and discussion on specific topics with high relevance for early-career researchers.
Project Sessions
Project Sessions (PRO)
(Tuesday 15.15h-16.15h)
The ESMI arose from two large collaborative research projects. These roots are still reflected in the spirit of cooperation, but also in this Project Session track. Each session is organized by a multinational research consortium:
PRO 01-05 (Tuesday)
- Imaging the Immune System by ImmuneImage
- Learning Resilience: Multimodal Functional Brain Imaging of Stress by LeaRNetS
- In vivo Visualization of Extracellular Matrix Pathology by Matrix in Vision
- Quantitative Fluorescence Molecular Endoscopy by msGUIDE
- Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging by CoDaFlight
