Young Radiology Forum

The International Team of the Young Radiology Forum is committed to representing the interests and needs of young radiologists at an international level. Our team provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience across borders to strengthen common dialogue and collaboration. Within the International Team, we establish contacts with representatives of young radiologists from other countries, establish partnerships for joint projects, and organize shared, intercultural congress sessions, for example at the European or German Röntgen Congress.

We aim to establish contacts with representatives of young radiologists from other countries to promote professional and scientific development synergistically. This includes partnerships for joint projects and also the exchange and organization of lectures and workshops specifically designed for the needs of young colleagues at national, European, and international congresses. In the long term, we aim to build an international network of the younger generation and work towards its strengthening by enabling international exchange, providing young radiologists with the opportunity to gain international experience, expand their own network, and acquire new knowledge through insights into working environments of other cultures.
