Founded in 2005, by merging the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and the European Association of Radiology (EAR), the European Society of Radiology (ESR) is an apolitical, non-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening and unifying European radiology.
With over 129K members across the globe, it has grown to become the largest radiological society in the world and hosts one of the biggest and most innovative scientific meetings in Europe, the European Congress of Radiology, in Vienna each year.
European Congress of Radiology 2026 (ECR 2026) – held under the inspiring theme ”Rays of Knowledge.” This theme beautifully captures the essence of ECR: a celebration of education at the heart of radiology. It alludes both to the “rays” of radiological imaging and the continuous “rays” of wisdom that illuminate our professio. Save the date! March 4-8 2026
