RATIONALE welcomes new members who like to engage within one of the networks working groups.
The prerequisite to become a member of a working group is a connection to radionuclide theragnostics, such as working in a nuclear medicine department or related industry, performing research in the field of clinical nuclear medicine, dosimetry, nuclear medicine imaging, radio-pharmacy/chemistry or alike or being engaged in respective educational activities. RATIONALE also explicitly encourages colleagues with a background in research ethics and legal matters as well as interested patient organization representatives and colleagues from government institutions to join the network. Here, in particular WG 1 “Cross-field communication, training and promotion of theragnostics “ and WG 6 “Ethical and legal aspects including data collection and sharing“ might be of interest.
To become a member of a working group, an application has to be submitted through the e-cost portal. There an application form needs to be filled providing some information about the personal background, the past and current engagement in the field of theranostics and a short description why one wants to join RATIONALE and what would be one’s contribution to the network.
Applications are reviewed on a regular bases by the RATIONALE core team and the Working Group leaders. This process might take one to two months. The candidates are notified if their application was successful through the e-cost portal.
ATTENTION: you might apply for more then one WG during your application. However, we advise to not apply for more than two WGs as an active engagement in more than two WGs seems unlikely.
