Building on previous years, to reach the vision statement for 2030, the congress theme is “Transformative Innovation Through Partnership”.

Continuous evolution and refinement of radiation oncology is one important path of innovation to achieve this goal. ESTRO 2025 has put an emphasis on breakthrough research and innovation. Such revolutionary innovation is happening within our discipline, and even more opportunities open by collaboration and partnership with neighbouring and even distant fields of research. The programme focusses on how all stakeholders can learn from each other and cooperate to push the boundaries of radiation oncology and multidisciplinary cancer care in general. The theme is reflected throughout the programme via state-of-the-art sessions.

I wish you a fruitful congress, learning from experts and connecting with friends old and new.

Matthias Guckenberger ESTRO President and Chair of ESTRO 2025
