The masterclass concept of the school is inspired by the International Particle Therapy Masterclasses (PTMC). It aims to follow up and support active and promising students who have already contributed to PTMC events as assistant tutors, and it encourages and motivates today’s students to get involved in future programs. The masterclass prepares students for future active research by promoting continuous interaction with experts.
Objectives
-
Educate and provide hands-on experience to a new generation of researchers, giving them the required skills and tools to access and engage with Europe's heavy ion therapy research infrastructures.
-
Provide multidisciplinary researchers from academia and industry with updated knowledge of both heavy ion therapy and the ongoing activities of the four major heavy ion therapy facilities in Europe.
-
Provide students and early stage researchers with opportunities to network with leading researchers in the field.
