The Danish national research centre, DCCC Radiotherapy, this November hosted the annual meeting for nearly 100 Danish researchers and clinicians working within the field of radiotherapy.

Many DCPT based researchers presented projects and engaged in the lively discussions. 15 DCPT based researchers presented their projects in flash talks from the stage.

- As new PhD student – both at DCPT and in Denmark – the DCCC RT annual meeting was a perfect opportunity to get a broad overview of the Danish radiation oncology research environment. The interactive discussion sessions and of course the social activities made it easy to get in touch with my new colleagues from DCPT, other researchers, clinicians and medical physicists, says Karolina Alexandra Klucznik, PhD student at DCPT.
