Miission statement
Erasmus course in MRI (EMRI) is a professional, independent, non-profit organization of European Universities dedicated to advancing the knowledge and clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging in relation to other imaging methods, aimed at improving medical care for our patients.

Vision
The principles of the Erasmus course in MRI are based on the teachings of the European humanist Desiderius Erasmus which include tolerance and the power of the critical, exploring human mind. We organize small scale meetings characterized by interactive teaching, flavour of the hosting University and city, as well as informal international contacts. We are proud to have in our organization the best teachers in Europe. Although this concept has been setting the standard of effective and enjoyable MR teaching in Europe since 1991, we constantly thrive to enhance our performance. In addition we reach out to medical communities outside Europe, both for teaching and for enriching our quality.
