The ESMI’s thematic, one-week, residential conference at the cutting edge of science in a unique and inspiring location.
TOPIM “hot TOPics in IMaging Science” is the European Society for Molecular Imaging’s thematic Summer Conference. From 2007 to 2020, it took place in the winter at the Ecole de Physique des Houches in France.
Due to the pandemic, TOPIM did not take place between 2021 and 2023. Now it is back – every last week in August in the beautiful surroundings of Tuscany.
The Concept
The idea is simple, yet challenging: choose a “hot” topic in imaging science, bring together a group of international scientists from different disciplines and career stages to spend one week in a unique, beautiful, and inspiring place to discuss science and open up new horizons!
Upcoming Edition | TOPIM 2026
Mark your calendars! TOPIM will take place in the last week of August (Monday – Friday) at the wonderful Certosa Di Pontignano in Siena, Italy:
- 2026: 24-28 August
