Summer Picnic 
What is the Summer Picnic series with yMICUK?
Our concept for the Summer Picnic Series by yMICUK – the young British ESMI Group – is: We meet, chat, talk science, support and get to know each other – we aim to strengthen and expand the UK network of (young) image scientists!
How it works
We just meet after work at 5pm at a nice spot outside. Besides talking about science and life, hurdles, and success stories, we can plan further yMICUK activities, learn about your needs and ideas… the only thing you need to do is register 
What to bring
- A welcome drink is provided
. - Bring food to share and any other drinks you’d like.
- A picnic blanket or similar to sit on.
- Optional: any other entertaining device like e.g. outdoor games.
Are you interested in organising a summer picnic in your city? Just contact us via yMICUK@esmi-insight.eu.
Past Editions
The first edition took place in July 2024 in London, the second in September in Cambridge and the most recent edition was in London’s Regent Park in September 2025: Chatting about science and life and everything inbetween over drinks and food in the sunshine (!). What more could you want. What a wonderful community!

Who we are and why you should join
yMIKUK is the British young ESMI group and as such part of ESMI the “mother society”. It is a bottom-up initiative run by the wonderful leadership team. Their aim is to provide an easy, informal entry into the imaging science community and to build a strong (British) network at the very beginning of one’s career.
