European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) 2025

European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) 2025 is organized by European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and will be held from May 02 - 06, 2025 at Messe Wien Exhibition Congress Center, Vienna, Wien, Austria.

Description:
The ambition of ESTRO to further reinforce radiation oncology as a key partner in multidisciplinary cancer care, and to guarantee accessible and high-value radiation therapy for all cancer patients who need it, is expressed in the society’s vision statement for 2030: ‘Radiation Oncology. Optimal Health for All, Together.’

Continuous evolution and refinement of radiation oncology is one important path of innovation to achieve this goal. ESTRO 2025 will put an emphasis on breakthrough research and innovation. Such revolutionary innovation is happening within our discipline, and even more opportunities open by collaboration and partnership with neighboring and even distant fields of research. With this aim, the congress theme is Transformative Innovation Through Partnership. The programme will focus on how all stakeholders can learn from each other and cooperate to push the boundaries of radiation oncology and multidisciplinary cancer care in general. The theme will be reflected throughout the programme via state-of-the-art sessions.

The programme will emphasise interaction between audience and faculty, making top-level science accessible for all attending. Featuring panel discussions, pitch sessions and debates, the programme will connect the whole radiotherapy community. Leaders in the field will share their work and knowledge via symposia and teaching lectures. Joint sessions with partner associations will connect delegates with new communities and increase the reach of the ESTRO population. Nurturing those starting out in their careers remains a pillar of the society and therefore the Young Track will continue to provide educational activities focussed on those in the earlier stages of their careers. All sessions will promote collaboration between faculty and audience.

ESTRO strives to showcase the top-level scientific work being carried out by the radiation oncology community. With this in mind, the best abstract submitted to each track will be celebrated in a best proffered paper session. Other sessions will showcase the latest trial results. In addition to these highlight sessions, ESTRO will recognise the top-tier abstracts submitted to the congress. The highly popular mini-oral sessions will continue, enhancing the visibility of submitted research, while poster discussion sessions offer a platform to showcase work. We will continue to emphasise the interdisciplinarity of the ESTRO scientific programme by calling for abstracts which are of interest to a broad range of disciplines.

The main purpose of the ESTRO annual congress is to disseminate the latest science within the world of radiotherapy but also to reach out to the larger medical community and society in general. We will be increasing our communication of the breakthrough science via social channels and the press both during and after the congress. This will ensure engagement for those presenting at ESTRO 2025 far beyond the congress itself.

Networking with corporate partners is always invaluable. ESTRO 2025 will host Europe’s largest industry exhibition in radiation oncology. It will offer you a unique opportunity to interact with industry leaders and to find out about the latest innovations in the field.
