EMMI aims to provide personalized training to each student :

EMMI is an European training program implemented by a consortium of universities and high level research centres. It provides both theoretical and practical training. The course-based teaching modules include:

• 1) Lectures, tutorials, practical hands-on training sessions
• 2) Direct interactions with expert scientists and professionals
• 3) A Web based platform (Dokeos) for collaborative work
• 4) E-learning modules
• 5) Optional lectures organized by the European Networks of Excellence
• 6) Exposure to technical English

The research thesis is designed to help each student acquire :

• Comprehensive understanding of the physics, biology and chemistry, image processing and analysis methods associated with each and every molecular imaging modality
• Knowledge of the potential applications of each imaging technique: including their role in disease diagnosis and in vivo monitoring of cellular and molecular processes
• Understanding of the advantages and limitations associated with each imaging technique and their suitability for different applications
• Having a grasp of the multiples sciences that constitute molecular imaging
• Ability to apply the acquired knowledge in an academic and/or industrial project
• Capability to independently lead a project

In addition to the technical knowledge listed above, the EMMI program will also help students achieve the following :

• Fluency in oral and written English
• Ability to work in a multi-cultural environment
• Independent thinking
• Capability to easily adapt to different teaching methods
• Rigorous work ethic
• Versatility in knowledge acquisition through use of different resources (i.e. web-based, paper-based, oral communication, etc.)
