ESTRO CONFERENCES
151
The annual GEC-ESTROworkshop in the autumn is now a household event of GEC-ESTRO
built on the success of the earlier editions, the first having been in 2013. For the first time
the last workshop, 4th, was held in Poznan, Poland, another city other than Brussels.
It is hoped that this can be done in other cities as well to encourage local participation.
The event attracts both young and seasoned brachytherapists with different specialties,
largely fromEurope and a few frombeyond. It is usually centered around smaller meetings
of the various GEC-ESTRO working groups (anorectal, braphyqs, breast, gynaecology,
head & neck, urology and the newly launched brachy-HERO) on a specific theme that
changes from one year to another.
Young professionals with an interest in brachytherapy are encouraged to attend. It is an
ideal opportunity for learning about ongoing projects with likeminded brachytherapy
enthusiasts. The working groups are keen to welcome new members and input.
More information on the programme and venue will be available in the spring of 2017:
