Researchers of the future - a German nominee programme Forscher für die Zukunft
"Radiology as a therapeutic, clinical research discipline"
From 18 to 20 January 2017, the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, in cooperation with LIAM, hosted the second workshop of three within the frames of the programme "Researchers of the
Future 2016/2017" sponsored by the Röntgengesellschaft e.V. (or English, German Society of Radiology). In order to promote young researchers in particular, the chairholders for radiology nominate
young physicians for an “excellence workshops” programme. The programme consists of three workshop sessions per season, which are each held at renowned research locations and led by outstanding
researchers.
The topic of this second workshop of season 2016/2017 was "Radiology as a therapeutic, clinical research discipline". The workshop covered a broad spectrum of content, ranging from the
organization of a study office and the funding of research to translational and clinical research. Four clinical study concepts were jointly developed and submitted for external funding application.
Furthermore, the participants received an in-depth insight into clinical orientation of a radiology clinic with its own inpatient ward through presentations and interactive visit and tumour board
simulations.
