Young Committee

At ESTRO 2020 the yESTRO committee and the Education Council will launch the ESTRO mentoring program pilot. With the pilot ESTRO provides an opportunity for 15 young ESTRO members to have a mentor from the ranks of established and senior ESTRO members.

15 motivated young ESTRO members will be selected based on their CV and motivation letter. ESTRO will bring the candidate mentees in contact with candidate mentors in a meet and greet session at ESTRO 2020 in Vienna. Based on preferences of the mentee and mentor, mentee-mentor couples will be formed. In the time between ESTRO 2020 and 2021, both mentor and mentee commit themselves for one year, with at least one meeting (physical, phone, skype) every three months of approximately one hour.
