ESTRO Annual Report 2019

4. Hands-on training: Mobility grants

In 2019, ESTRO dedicated a budget of €50,000 for mobility grants (technology transfer grants or TTGs).

These grants are to enable radiation oncology professionals to visit another institute to learn about or gain experience with a technique, equipment or application that is not available in their own institute, and which would be useful for them and their department in future studies or clinical treatments. Applications are submitted twice a year and evaluated by a panel of five members of the education council, including two clinicians, one physicist, one RTT and one biologist.
