ESTRO SCHOOL 27
Online education
ESTROMobility Grants
Access to quality education is a top priority of the ESTRO School. The School therefore continues to invest in the
development of e-learning opportunities as a complement to its live educational offer.
Every year ESTRO offers a number of mobility grants (previously known as Technology Transfer Grants
or TTGs). These grants are made available to radiation oncology professionals eager to visit another
institute to learn about or gain experience with a technique, equipment or its application that is not
easily available in their own institute and which would be useful to them and their department in future
studies or clinical treatments.
There are two application deadlines per year (spring and autumn) and dates are announced on the
ESTRO website, as well as by ESTRO Flash reminders, social media and the ESTRO Newsletter. 50-70%
of the applications are granted.
Deadlines: 31 May and 31 October 2017
All applications should be addressed to
