Background
Rapid and promising advances in biomedical imaging have highlighted the need to train a new generation of professionals, evolving in a multidisciplinary environment and thus requiring knowledge of biology, chemistry, fundamental physics, image analysis and clinical applications. The training of future imaging professionals is a real challenge, given the diversity of imaging modalities, particularly multimodal imaging, which considerably increases the potential of imaging, and the challenge of data analysis. In this context, the training of users and platform staff is essential.
Coordination
The coordination of training initiatives within the FLI network will not only help meet the need for qualified manpower to meet the new challenges facing the industry, but also ensure the sustainability, professionalism and recognition of these training courses. This mission will be carried out by the CEA’s Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires CEA’s Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires, which has set up a Steering Committee comprising representatives from the various nodes, as well as representatives from off-node technology platforms and learned societies.
The objectives
Ensure a high-level training offer for students and professionals (academic and industrial) in the field of biomedical researchAssure the visibility of this training offer by stimulating exchanges within the scientific imaging community and strengthening existing networks
Ensuring the sustainability of this training offer
Ensure professional recognition of these training courses (in France and eventually in Europe).
The missions
Optimizing training for imaging students
Identify and publicize existing training courses
Contribute to the implementation of innovative TP on platforms
Organize and support Summer Schools or Workshops linked to the various nodes
Encourage student mobility for training purposes by providing financial support
Contribute to the professional integration of students by creating a national office in charge of student employability.
Coordinating continuing education in imaging
Identify continuing training needs
Design and coordinate new training courses for the community, platform staff and users
Promoting continuing education
Strengthen continuing education offerings for industrial partners
Relay job opportunities/offers on platforms via the website
Stimulating and financing inter-platform staff mobility
Deployon an international scale imaging training programs
Organize English-language training sessions
Promote international exchanges by financing the participation of staff and students in conferences and training courses outside France, and by inviting international experts.
