Programme

Overview: Come discover the ESTRO Early Career Networking Orbit: this year’s speed-dating session is a playful space-themed experience designed to spark conversations, create new connections, and help members feel part of the community. Tag along, expand your orbit, and meet fellow colleagues from across the radiation oncology universe. Everyone is welcome.

Overview: This session explores how oncology research can be communicated effectively beyond academia, with a focus on patient-centred engagement. Through three complementary perspectives, it highlights the role of patient ambassadors, lived patient experience, and practical strategies for reaching non-specialist audiences. Speakers will discuss how to make complex science accessible, build meaningful connections with diverse communities, and foster dialogue rather than one-way dissemination. Emphasis is placed on translating research into real-world impact, inspiring trust, and ensuring that patient priorities shape research agendas. Designed for early-career researchers, the session offers both reflection and practical tools to strengthen communication and engagement.
