Professions & Partnerships Council

The Profession & Partnerships Council oversees the inward and outward representation of ESTRO. It is the house of all ESTRO professions: it ensures the effective coordination of projects, recommends collaborations and joint endeavours between Standing Committees or between Standing Committees and Focus Groups where relevant, and supports continuous committee representation in strategy implementation. Through the Young Committee and the National Societies Committee, the Council also oversees the development and engagement of early career professionals and the relationships with ESTRO National Societies.

The Profession & Partnerships Council is also responsible for managing ESTRO’s relations with all relevant stakeholders in the field of Radiotherapy. It coordinates the Society Memoranda of Understanding on behalf of the Board, recommends new partnerships and assesses existing ones.
