The IAEA and the French Society of Nuclear Medicine (SFMN) signed Practical Arrangements this month, formalizing a framework for enhanced cooperation in the area of nuclear medicine. These Arrangements, which cover a period of three years from 2020 to 2023, have been signed by SFMN President Florent Cachin on June 29 and countersigned by Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi on 2 October, on behalf of the IAEA.
The Practical Arrangements provide a framework for future collaboration supporting capacity building in the areas of nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, or any allied disciplines, particularly for professionals from French-speaking countries. Through the IAEA’s Coordinated Research Activities, the PAs pave the way for future cooperation on research projects of common interest, in order to propel and advance both the scientific understanding and practical application of nuclear science.
