PTCOG Project Funding 2025
PTCOG is a Co-Operative organization dedicated to the field of particle therapy. This is a multi-disciplinary field involving a number of specialties. It is central to this field that work to facilitate research and development is encouraged. Beyond its primary role to bring together the practitioners and newcomers to the field in the context of scientific exchange, education and publication, PTCOG has gone a step further by beginning to provide some tangible funding to help expedite appropriate endeavors in the field. To that end, each year, PTCOG will accept proposals for Scientific Projects and Education and provide funding for a select few of these. The PTCOG budget is limited, but the organization will strive to make some funding available.
The projects awarded by PTCOG will be announced during the PTCPG 63 Conference in Argentina.
The form for applications will be published here in October 2024 latest.
