ESTRO SCHOOL PRINCIPLES AND SAFETY POLICY
The ESTRO School offers educational courses and workshops to (radiation) oncology
professionals in Europe and abroad.
The decision to offer education and training in any country is based on needs and
requests and guided by the principles of neutrality and impartiality. The ESTRO
School and its faculties maintain complete independence from all political,
economic or religious powers.
The ESTRO School can on demand* provide worldwide travel insurance (unlimited
medical and repatriation expenses) for all faculty members for the time spent on
an ESTRO course.
*Some teachers may benefit from worldwide travel insurance through their
regular employer; for those who don’t, the ESTRO offices can provide the
insurance when arranging the travel of the teachers
The ESTRO School assumes the responsibility to watch over the safety of the course
faculties and participants
When there is an indication of risk or danger in travelling to the country
where a course is planned, the ESTRO office will actively survey the
situation by checking the travel advice from the ministries of foreign
affairs from countries like the US, UK, Germany, France and from the
country where the course is planned (this list is not exhaustive).
In case of imminent danger and increased risk, the School directors will
take the necessary decisions in collaboration with the faculties to cancel
or postpone the course.
A
ny teacher remains free to decide on an individual basis to cancel
his/her participation to a course planned in a country that is possibly at
risk.
