Description

It is our great pleasure to announce the upcoming 2025 HITRIplus Project Meeting and Workshop, hosted by SEEIIST Association and Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation of Montenegro, at the Science and Technology Park of Montenegro in Podgorica,  on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25 2025.

The event will be hybrid, however you are encouraged to participate in person: it will be an excellent opportunity to forge meaningful connections with experts and peers in the dynamic field of particle therapy, covering topics focusing on both clinical experience and advances in accelerator technology. Gain fresh insights, share your expertise, and contribute to the advancement of the HITRIplus Project and hadrontherapy in the SEE countries!

Please find below detailed information regarding logistics and accommodation in Podgorica.
