Mission

Cerimed is offering in a unique site a space of synergy and discussions between the different disciplines of medical imaging sciences in close relation with industry. The goal is to create in Europe a pole of excellence regrouping the necessary competences and infrastructures to conduct an ambitious R&D program on the design and validation of new generations of imaging systems, which are likely to contribute in a decisive manner to the solution of some of the public health problems.

The most essential measures are:

• Create a synergie between available competences in Europe
• Give a focus on existing networks (for instance Crystal Clear, French Canceropoles, OpenGATE,etc)
• Create and promote a multidiciplinary community working in the field of medical imaging and involving medical doctors, biologists, physicists and industrial representatives.
• Create a dynamic process in close connection with a strong education pole
• Create incentives for innovation and favor the european industry in this field
• Create a strong european leadership in molecular imaging technology
