12th International Conference on Isotopes in Florence Focuses on Production, Measurement, Medicine

In Florence, Italy, the 12th International Conference on Isotopes is convening from 15–19 February 2026 as a five-day multidisciplinary forum focused squarely on isotope production, measurement, and medical applications. Scientists, manufacturers, regulators, and end users are meeting in the same program to align priorities across the isotope community.

Organizers designed the 12ICI program to bridge laboratory practice and industrial scale-up, with participants from manufacturing and regulatory sectors joining academic researchers to discuss production pathways and measurement standards. The conference’s stated remit brings production and metrology experts together with hospital and clinical end users so that technical production issues and measurement traceability can be considered alongside medical demand.

Sessions across the 15–19 February schedule emphasize technical and practical challenges in isotope availability and quality assurance. Manufacturers and regulators at the conference are engaging on topics that affect supply chains and compliance, while scientists present work aimed at improving measurement accuracy and reproducibility in isotope assays. End users attending the forum are framing clinical needs for medical isotopes within the same discussions.

The presence of a broad cross-section of the isotope field at 12ICI creates rare opportunities for direct dialogue between those who make isotopes, those who measure them, and those who apply them in medicine. The conference’s multidisciplinary approach is intended to shorten feedback loops between production choices, measurement protocols, and clinical implementation, reinforcing the practical links between industry standards and patient-facing applications.

For attendees from the Nuclear Reactions community, the Florence gathering offers concentrated exposure to current production and metrology concerns and to evolving medical applications during the five-day event. With the 12th International Conference on Isotopes running through 19 February 2026, participants are using the final sessions to consolidate action points that span production, measurement, and medicine.
