ESTRO – JACK FOWLER – UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AWARD

The Award
An annual award of 1000 € will be given for the best abstract submitted by a junior working in the field of radiobiology, radiation physics, radiation oncology or radiation technology.
In even years the award will be given to a radiation oncologist or radiobiologist at the ESTRO Congress.  In uneven years the award will be given to a physicist or radiation technologist at the Biennial ESTRO Meeting 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.
