ESMPE European School for Medical Physics Experts
School for Proton Therapy Physics
10th-12th July 2025, Prague, Czech Republic
EFOMP in collaboration with the Particle Therapy SIG and the Czech Association of Medical Physics (CAMP) would like to invite you to the next ESMPE on 10th-12th July 2025.
The school will be aimed at introducing the basic concepts of proton therapy, dosimetry and treatment planning. The school will cover the methods of basic proton physics including acceptance of new proton therapy machine, proton dosimetry, proton treatment planning, in-room and out-of-room imaging ideally customized for proton therapy, and novel technologies such as FLASH and spatial fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT). On the Saturday morning, there will be hands-on practical experience at the Proton Therapy Center Czech Ltd, located in Prague.
This two-and-half day event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in nuclear medicine therapies. There will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance.
ESMPE have decided this event will be in a hybrid format. All lecturers will give their talks on-site in Prague, but participants can choose if they want to attend the school on-site (limited number of participants) or online, it will be live-streamed.
Please note: All times shown are in CET
