    Monaco

    Covering around two square kilometers and nestled between mountains and sea, the Principality of Monaco might be the world’s second-smallest country, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in attitude. Glamorous, sophisticated, safe and hugely cosmopolitan, Monaco is truly beguiling. We’re pleased to host the Advanced Clinical Course “Brain Metastases and Skull-base Tumors” in cooperation with Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace and the team of Dr. Cécile Ortholan and Benjamin Serrano, PhD.

    Brussels

    Brussels is the capital of Belgium and is also considered the principal city of the European Union. It has all the characteristics of a metropolis, but at the same time is a small tranquil city. It has extremely modern neighborhoods that contrast with its renowned Art Deco buildings, and the streets of Brussels are packed with charm and history. We’re pleased to host the Advanced Clinical Course “ExacTrac Dynamic® for Breast Cancer” in cooperation with Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel and the team of Prof. Mark de Ridder and Prof. Thierry Gevaert.

    Hamburg

    Located along the banks of the Elbe River, Hamburg is a dynamic city where tradition meets modernity. Explore historic neighborhoods like Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world, or dive into the arts and culture scene at the Elbphilharmonie. Hamburg, known for its maritime heritage and open-minded spirit, invites you to experience a city brimming with history, innovation, and a warm northern welcome. We’re pleased to host the Advanced Clinical Course “Brain Metastases and Skull-base Tumors” in cooperation with Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf and the team of Prof. Cordula Petersen, MD, and Manuel Todorovic.
