Manual for ESTRO Teachers

The ESTRO School offers 35 courses live courses per year, some of which are taking place every second year. 80% of the courses take place

• DOVE Dynamic Oncology Virtual ESTRO: the ESTRO Educational platform containing peer-reviewed publications (ESTRO congress

webcasts, abstracts and posters and course material)

• EGLO ESTRO Global Learning Objects: the new ESTRO e-learning modules which increase the educational value of the DOVE library

The former ETC (Education and Training Committee) has now become the Education Council with the following working groups: live

programmes, blended learning programme with a link to Falcon, the international education programme, the core curriculum/accred-

itation/Fellow programme, the pedagogical programme and the mobility programm

The ESTRO School organises a teachers’ retreat every other year during the congress offering brain-storming sessions in a relaxed at-

mosphere to discuss pedagogical issues.
