Events

We will organize an international expert workshop on clinical target volume (CTV) definition in radiotherapy. The workshop will take place at Monte Verità conference center in Ascona, Switzerland and is supported by Congressi Stefano Franscini. 

The work shop will focus on the development of quantitative computational tools to support and improve CTV definition. The format of the workshop will be similar to the ESTRO physics workshops. Most of the time is reserved for interactive discussion. Participants should be involved in research on target volume definition in radiotherapy and actively contribute to the discussion.

Participation: The application process will be started later this year.  

Please contact Jan Unkelbach for further information in the meantime.
