ESTRO SCHOOL
The ESTRO School priorities
FULFILLING THE SOCIETY’S MISSION THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAINING
•The ESTRO School is an international institution that strives to improve, professionalise and harmonise knowledge
and practice in radiation oncology and associated professions in Europe and beyond.
•The ESTRO School supports the implementation of the European core curricula with education and training
programmes targeting both young and senior radiation oncology professionals.
•The ESTRO School offers a wide range of live educational activities and online educational resources that allow
professionals worldwide to acquire the knowledge, skills and competencies to deliver high quality treatment
and care to cancer patients.
NEXT DEVELOPMENTS AND PRIORITIES
•In 2016, the ESTRO Board selected Jesper Grau Eriksen as the new Director of the ESTRO School and Chair of
the ESTRO Education Council. Under the previous chair of Richard Poetter, the School expanded considerably
and successfully, both in terms of the number of courses and participants and in the variety of educational
activities.
•This expansion will not stop and therefore the ESTRO Education and Training Committee has been restructured
into a newmodel: The Education Council, overviewing and coordinating six dedicated educational programmes.
The Council will set the strategy for education and training and the six programmes will develop plans and
activities to implement the strategic objectives.
