•The number of live courses and online workshops will continue to increase, with a specific focus on the devel-
opment of extra educational activities in the Asia Pacific region.
•An important challenge for the next years will be the integration of different ways of learning into the School
(blended learning). The School plans to set up a web-based platform that will allow professionals to learn online
in a collaborative way with others and combine this with other ESTRO live education. This Virtual Learning
Environment (VLE) will integrate precious educational material from the ESTRO DOVE e-library and from
the FALCON platform and will enable even more people to become educated through ESTRO.
•A recent self-evaluation of the ESTRO School, according to the internationally accepted standards of the World
Federation for post-graduate Medical Education (WFME), has identified how the educational expertise in the
School can be further improved. The School will therefore focus more on the development of pedagogical tools
for evaluation and assessment, quality improvement and instruction and support of faculties and teachers.
