The 2012 AIPES Press Award
The Winner will receive 1,500 euros and a specially commissioned sculpture created by the famous Belgian sculptor, Olivier Strebelle. The award will be presented at the EANM in Milan October 2012.
The 2011 AIPES Press Award
The award recognizes the best article about nuclear medicine published in a European magazine. AIPES introduced the award this year to stimulate clear and positive communication about nuclear medicine and hence improve awareness and understanding of the subject among a wider audience.
AIPES also decided to award a special prize to Dr. Claudine Als, from the Service of Nuclear Medicine at the ZithaKlinik in Luxemburg for her collective work of articles on nuclear medicine which she initiated and coordinated for the local newspaper “Jeudi” prior to the first French-Belgian-Luxemburg Nuclear Medicine congress in May 2011. Dr. Als is Nuclear Physician, MD, graduated from the ULB (Belgium).
Announcing the awards during the 2011 EANM ceremony in Birmingham on 19 October Marc Gheeraert, President of AIPES, said: “We all know how important nuclear medicine is for a wide variety of clinical areas and healthcare in general. However, it is not always easy to explain, in a simple way, the advantages it brings to all our stakeholders including patients. Therefore we highly appreciate Prof. Goldman’s article in “La Libre”. It explains in layman’s terms what nuclear medicine can do for neurological diseases, illustrated with relevant pictures and simple facts. I hope this award stimulates others to write in a similar way about nuclear medicine”.
