12th International Conference on Isotopes - 12ICI

Scientific Programme

The Conference will seek to emphasize the interdisciplinary aspects in particular dealing with:

• application of isotopes in medicine and life science: subjects related to nuclear medicine for imaging and therapy towards the theragnostic applications, radiopharmaceutical sciences and regulatory considerations;
• special emphasis will be on techniques and applications in Cultural Heritage and Archeometry
• the device and the techniques to study the optimization production of radionuclides for the different application
• the detectors and dosimetry to highlight the safety and security in radionuclides applications with the regulatory consideration. The quality assurance protocols and also the nuclear forensic aspect and applications
• the isotopes both natural and artificial in environment, radioecology and geochemistry
• education and training specially for the young generation of scientist.

The Conference will seek to emphasize young students and researchers.
Participants under 38 years old at the time of the conference can apply in this section with oral or poster presentations.

The number of orals will be limited and will be encouraged the poster presentations to leave more possibility and time to discuss and interact in front of a poster.
A Committee will evaluate the best oral presentation and the best poster.
The criteria will be based on the scientific validity, ability and clarity of presentation, ability to answer the questions of the commission.
The winners will be awarded during the closing ceremony of the conference.

We encourage the young participants to present their work as publication in the Special Issue of Conference Journal.
