1st Annual ARDENT WORKSHOP

20 Nov 2012, 09:00 → 23 Nov 2012, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

Vienna, AUSTRIA

The first annual ARDENT workshop will gather together all ESRs and their supervisors to update on the progress made at each institution and exchange information. Each ESR will introduce himself and its work, experts are invited to deliver training courses on dosimetry, and a visit to the MedAustron is organised during the last day.
