2017 Dosimetry Audit Workshop 11 January 2017 | Brussels, Belgium

The dosimetry audit workshop had 45 participants from all over Europe, although the majority were from the UK, Spain, The Netherlands and Denmark. Most participants came fromnational societies, clinical trial quality assurance (QA) groups and other authorities involved in dosimetry audits or who had published suitable work.The workshop was structured to provide an informal arena for scientific interaction and networking between researchers working in the same field. Participants were able to present the audit situation in their own country as well as their own work.

1st ESTRO Physics Workshop Science in development 17-18November 2017 | Glasgow, UK

The first ESTRO physics workshop aimed to strengthen scientific and professional networking among ESTRO members with interests in a common area, and to promote ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking. This was facilitated by the small format of the meeting. Five tracks ran in parallel: • Medical physics research, GATE Monte Carlo simulations and treatment planning development for therapy with scanned particle beams • Dosimetry audit in radiation oncology – where to next? • In vivo dosimetry methods for external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy • Micro and nano-dosimetry for radiotherapy • Automate or perish. The meeting aimed to outline the latest research, to promote collaboration between different groups and to enable ESTRO members working in the same field to share experiences.
