5th European Congress of Medical Physics (ECMP) Joint Conference of the DGMP, ÖGMP & SGSMP
5th European Congress of Medical Physics (ECMP) Joint Conference of the DGMP, ÖGMP & SGSMP is organized by Conventus Congressmanagement & Marketing GmbH and will be held from Sep 11 - 14, 2024 at Science Congress Center Munich, Grafing bei Munchen, Bavaria, Germany.
Description:
Medical Physics is a domain in constant evolution, all the more so in this day and age in which we are witnessing the start of a new era. Many important discoveries and developments are happening which will radically change our clinical practice in the next few years. Translational research into novel radiobiology concepts, artificial intelligence, new medical imaging techniques, and others are the main drivers of these strong winds of change. Bringing new technologies and treatment schemes to standard clinical practice has always been one of the roles of the medical physicist. Correspondingly, the theme of this congress: “Bridging the future: from research to new clinical practices”, was informed by this idea.
I hope that ECMP2024 will serve as a forum to foster discussions and reflections on how to change our mindset to optimally adapt to this rapidly varying environment, including the increase of interdisciplinarity and European communication, improvements to our education programs, and further fortifying the bridge between research and clinical practice. ECMP2024 will be an excellent opportunity for us to share ideas and experiences as well as to further enhance our collaboration with our industrial, vendor partners, and sister organizations to deliver this vision.
Our conference city Munich offers something for all visitors: from lakes, parks, and Biergärten to museums, historical sites, and massive stores.
I would like to express my thanks to the Associations of Medical Physicists of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and their respective presidents, Martin Fiebich, Dietmar Georg, and Marta Sans Merce, for integrating their tri-nation congress, chaired by Katia Parodi, in ECMP2024, and for choosing an excellent venue for this event. The brand-new Science Congress Center Munich in Garching is located on a first-class research campus which sets a very good example of tight interdisciplinary collaborations around Medical Physics aiming to bring fundamental research into new clinical practices.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
