ESTRO ACCURAY AWARD

The Award
On even years, the amount of €7,500 will be awarded to a radiotherapy professional for research in the field of radiobiology, radiation physics, clinical radiotherapy or radiation technology, during the ESTRO Annual Congress.

On uneven years, the amount of  € 2,500 is awarded to:
• A physicist or radiation technologist during the Biennial ESTRO Conference on Physics and Radiation Technology for Clinical Radiotherapy. For the eligibility criteria, submission elements and deadlines, please visit the ESTRO events website www.estro-events.org (11th Biennial).
• A clinician during the multidisciplinary ECCO-ESMO-ESTRO meeting. In the year 2011, this award will be given instead during the ESTRO Anniversary Conference in London.F or the eligibility criteria, submission elements and deadlines, please visit the ESTRO events website www.estro-events.org (ESTRO Anniversary Conference).
