Registration is open for Hadron Therapy Symposium: status and perspectives, plans for next generation facilities, to be held in Thessaloniki from October 18 to 21, 2024 in hybrid mode and free of charge.
This four-days international event will present an Overeview of the Status and Perspectives of Hadron Therapy and will include a 2-days workshop, on 18-19 October, focusing on reviewing the current status and future plans for developments of existing hadron therapy facilities driven by clinical requirements, a 1-day Treatment Planning MasterClass on 21 October, including the resulting requirements on the accelerating complex and demos students’ sessions and networking events for newcomers in the Heavy Ion Therapy Research including career opportunities.
The lectures will be delivered by over 20 world-leading experts in the field. They will cover a broad spectrum, from the principles of hadron therapy and radiobiology to experiences of the European running hadron therapy centres and their future plans, including specific indications for hadron therapy such as head and neck, sarcoma and others. Dedicated sessions will address pediatrics as well as emerging methods, such as combinations of hadron therapy with immunotherapy and FLASH therapy, highlighting also unfolding research avenues and the related necessary technical advancements on the accelerator and beam delivery systems.
They are primarily intended to acquaint participants with hadrontherapy as well as students specializing or considering specializing in related fields, including accelerator physics, medical physics, biophysics. The ultimate goal is to address and prepare motivated professionals, as well as early-stage researchers and students who show strong promise and interest in becoming part of the heavy ion therapy research community and who may then optimally exploit and access Europe’s heavy ion therapy research infrastructures. Hence, the Hadron Therapy Symposium benefits from other events that bring such communities in Thessaloniki, such as the Aristotle Medical Forum, which will take place in the adjusent venue.
