New Year, New Fellows: Welcome the recipients of Yves Menu Review Fellowships 2026!
European Radiology and its Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Bernd Hamm, proudly introduce the next class of Yves Menu Review Fellows. This talented group will meet for the first time in person at ECR 2026, kicking off a 10-month reviewer training journey. Throughout the programme, they will gain hands-on experience evaluating submitted manuscripts, learning how to assess formal criteria, scientific rigour, and how to craft clear, constructive recommendations for handling editors. As always, the fellows will be guided and supported by our esteemed Deputy Editors, whose mentorship is central to the fellowship’s mission. We warmly congratulate all selected candidates and wish them an inspiring and rewarding fellowship experience! Learn more about the 2026 fellows below:
