ESTRO Physics Workshop 2024 - hosting a joint physics & biology workshop

The ESTRO Physics Committee is delighted to announce the 7th ESTRO Physics Workshop 2024: Science in Development. This year, the workshop will be held in Krakow, Poland, on October 18-19, 2024.

Feedback from ESTRO physics members highlighted that they are often too busy at the annual congress to have in-depth discussions with their colleagues about topics of mutual interest. We have addressed this need by holding annual workshops on specific research and advanced clinical topics where challenges and future directions will be discussed. At the same time, international collaborations and work groups to address these challenges can be made. These highly productive workshops have previously led to many outcomes and publications.

The workshops are neither regular meetings based on invited talks and proffered papers, nor teaching courses. Instead, they aim to facilitate scientific and professional networking opportunities within the ESTRO physics community, physicists working in other areas and, furthermore, create close interactions with industrial developers.

Participants register for one single topic and the programmes are based on invited talks by specialists in the field, as well as active contributions by all participants through eg. pitches to share their thoughts, issues and work on the topic theme. This is followed by ample time for discussion and at the end of the workshop each group develops plans for future activity on their topic. These include opportunities to play a role in many ways and can lead to grants, papers, schools, surveys and other outputs.

The ESTRO physics workshops aim to foster communication, awareness and appreciation between the disciplines in the light of the greatest current challenges and the latest advances in methodologies and experimental approaches.

All the topics for 2024 are listed under the programme tab below.

Take a look and register! We look forward to meeting you in Krakow for this next edition of ESTRO physics workshops!
