The IAEA and the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) are strengthening cooperation on activities that promote the safe and effective use of ionizing radiation in medicine for diagnosis and treatment.
Under their new agreement, the IAEA and EFOMP will continue their scientific collaboration in medical physics to develop guidance documents including for clinical training and assessment purposes.

In addition, they will jointly develop educational and training materials to further strengthen capacity building over the next three years.

On cancer care in particular, EFOMP will work closely with the IAEA’s Human Health programme to support Europe’s Rays of Hope Anchor Centres. As knowledge and capacity building hubs, these centres serve as a dedicated regional resource for other cancer facilities under the Agency’s flagship initiative to expand access to diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and medical physics where it is needed most.
