The list of candidates for the second edition of the EuroMinnies award scheme is now available. The EuroMinnies recognize the best and brightest in European radiology, and our second annual campaign includes candidates in eight categories, ranging from Most Influential Radiology Researcher to Best New Radiology Vendor.
The EuroMinnies candidates below were chosen based on nominations from our members. Winners will be selected by our expert panel in two rounds of voting. The finalists will be announced in late January 2020, with the final winners announced in February. Trophy presentations will take place at ECR 2020 in Vienna.
