ESTRO RTT Alliance 2021 election results - PDF Version

The RTT Alliance of the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) aims to strengthen the voice of Radiation TherapisTs (RTTs) at international level and it plays an important role in the improvement of recognition and professional development of RTTs across Europe. The ESTRO RTT Alliance offers a platform for RTTs within national societies to network and to share information and best practice between societies and to access the ESTRO scientific and educational network. The alliance wants to promote cross-fertilisation of learning and ideas and to form a critical mass of RTTs with common interests.

Information on how to join the RTT Alliance can be found at the part of the website entitled ESTRO - RTT Alliance membership.

The candidates who run for the positions of RTT Alliance representative are supported by their RTT national societies and are then elected by eligible ESTRO RTT members. The elected candidates take up seats on the ESTRO RTT Committee, to better represent the needs of the RTT Alliance.
