Die Registrierung für den ECMP vom 17.-20.08.2022 in Dublin ist geöffnet. Weiterhin werden mehrere Joint Sessions mit assoziierten Fachgesellschaften durchgeführt.

REGISTRATION OPEN

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting you to register for the 4th European Congress of Medical Physics, which will be held in Dublin, Ireland on 17-20 August 2022.

The theme of ECMP 2022 is Multiple Energies, Single Patient Focus. This represents the many strands of medical physics, which all operate at different energies and strengths and how, when they come together, they maximise the benefit to every patient. Ireland is an island nation with a strong history of sharing knowledge and connecting people. Here, we are all well aware of the importance of science without borders. The idea of the 2022 Congress is to reflect this connectivity between physicists and the sense of community.

EFOMP represents more than 9000 medical physicists and clinical engineers working in the field of medical physics. Through ECMP we hope to connect these physicists and those from other nations.
