17 Jan 2022, 10:00 → 21 Jan 2022, 18:15 Europe/Zurich

Online

Antony John Lomax (Paul Scherrer Institut), Damien Charles Weber (Paul Scherrer Institut)

**********

The PSI Winter School for Protons 2022 has taken place.

**********

The next PSI Winter School 2023 is scheduled as follows:
Sunday, 15.01.23 to Friday, 20.01.23
We do hope it will be an onsite event again.If you would like to be informed when the registration opens, then you are very welcome to contact us under: winterschool@psi.ch

Thank you.

**********

Aim of course:

To provide detailed knowledge on the clinical, physics and technological aspects of proton therapy using pencil beam scanning

Target audience:

Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, physicists, engineers, radiation technologists and dosimetrists. No previous knowledge of proton therapy is necessary.
