The list of candidates for the inaugural edition of the EuroMinnies award scheme is now available. The EuroMinnies recognize the best and brightest in European radiology, and our first annual campaign includes 97 candidates in eight categories, ranging from Most Influential Radiology Researcher to Best New Radiology Vendor.
EuroMinnies winners will be selected by our expert panel in two rounds of voting. The finalists will be announced in January 2019, with the final winners announced in February. The trophy presentations will take place at ECR 2019 in Vienna.
