Colleagues are invited to take part in the 20st International Congress of IRIST, the International Research Group in Immuno-Scintigraphy and Therapy. The meeting will be held in the city of Groningen in the North-East of The Netherlands. Although the city is already 900 years old, it is young and dynamic, due to the presence of different institutions for higher education, including a university dating back to 1614. The meeting itself will take place in the University Medical Center, the largest of its kind in The Netherlands.
Abstracts and invited lectures will be presented in the field of immunoscintigraphy and nuclear medicine therapy. Every IRIST member is invited to participate and to contribute to our growing Society.
Abstracts will be published in the official journal of the Society, the Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine (QJNM). Travel grants will be awarded to the best abstracts submitted.
