4th European Congress of Medical Physics
2022-08-17 - 2022-08-20 | St Patricks Campus, DCU, Drumcondra, Dublin 9, Dublin, Ireland
Dear Colleagues,
Céad Míle Fáilte… One Hundred Thousand Welcomes
On behalf of the Irish Association of Physicists in Medicine (IAPM) and the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP), we would like to welcome you to Dublin for the 2022 European Congress of Medical Physics (ECMP).
The theme of ECMP 2022 is Multiple Energies, Single Patient Focus. This represents the many strands of medical physics, which all operate at different energies and strengths and how, when they come together, they maximise the benefit to every patient. Ireland is an island nation with a strong history of sharing knowledge and connecting people. Here, we are all well aware of the importance of science without borders. The idea of the 2022 Congress is to reflect this connectivity between physicists and the sense of community.
EFOMP represents more than 9000 medical physicists and clinical engineers working in the field of medical physics. Through ECMP we hope to connect these physicists and those from other nations.
ECMP is a wonderful opportunity for us to share novel research ideas, experiences and teachings. Together with the scientific program for ECMP 2022, we have an exciting experiential social programme for the congress. We hope to leave you educated, refreshed and elated!

Yours sincerely,
Paddy Gilligan Emer Kenny
EFOMP President IAPM President
