ECR 2026, the European Congress of Radiology, will take place in Vienna from March 4 to 8, 2026, bringing together the global radiology community under the inspiring theme “Rays of Knowledge.” The congress places education at the very core of radiology, celebrating the continuous flow of scientific insight, innovation, and learning that drives the profession forward.
The theme reflects both the physical foundations of medical imaging and the intellectual pursuit of knowledge that enables radiologists to reveal what lies beyond the visible. Rooted in Europe’s long-standing tradition of scientific discovery, ECR 2026 emphasizes vision, insight, and understanding as essential elements in advancing diagnosis, patient care, and clinical decision-making.
Designed for radiologists, radiographers, physicists, and physicians from all specialties, ECR 2026 offers a comprehensive educational experience combining scientific excellence with practical relevance. The congress provides opportunities to deepen expertise, earn CME credits, and engage with an international network of professionals, both onsite and through on-demand access via ESR Connect.
The scientific programme spans a wide range of formats, including plenary sessions, didactic courses across all areas of clinical radiology, interactive discussions, and original scientific presentations.
Key topics include multidisciplinary collaboration, radiologic-pathologic and clinical-radiologic correlations, international classification systems, and the evolving role of radiologists in actionable reporting and tumour boards. Particular attention is given to the growing impact of artificial intelligence on workflow optimization, image analysis, and regulatory considerations, alongside advances in diagnostic imaging technologies and image-guided minimally invasive procedures.
Through its strong emphasis on education, innovation, and collaboration, ECR 2026 aims to support the continuous evolution of radiology in a patient-centred, technology-driven healthcare landscape, offering a forward-looking perspective on the future of the discipline.
