A course aimed at the whole multi-professional team in radiotherapy, whatever your level of expertise. The focus of the course is skewed towards the clinical and practical applications of modern radiotherapy; hence, also towards RTTs and radiation oncologists. However, we acknowledge that the role individual disciplines take can vary internationally, and  working in a multidisciplinary teams (MDT) working is increasingly important in modern radiotherapy. We welcome RTTs, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists to the course and encourage you to review the course programme to determine its suitability.

Dear tRNA community,We are delighted to once again invite you to Greece for the 30th anniversary of the tRNA Conference that will take place between 20-24 September 2026, at the Aquila Atlantis Hotel, in the heart of the city of Heraklion on the beautiful island of Crete. We hope that with your participation and contribution we will bring the tRNA community together in one of the most exciting conferences featuring a rich blend of great inclusive science and unique cultural experiences.Research on tRNA has always been closely connected with the evolution of the genetic code and life itself. Today, more than ever, it is evident that tRNA research continues to reveal new and surprising frontiers of cellular metabolism which will be presented in diverse sessions devoted to synthetic biology, tRNA biogenesis, processing, editing, transfer and localization, recognition of tRNA by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and their roles in diseases, structure/function relationships of translation factors and beyond, tRNA-mediated gene expression regulation, tRNA-associated proteins and protein networks, functions of tRNA fragments, and tRNA-based therapies.We welcome you to the place that gave birth to the original, enduring ideas of the modern world and we invite you to enjoy both the 30th tRNA Conference and your stay in Greece and the beautiful island of Crete.Conference ChairConstantinos StathopoulosUniversity of Patras, Greece

Electron microscopy, particularly Volume Electron Microscopy (vEM), is undergoing rapid technological transformation. Modern approaches such as Serial Block-Face SEM (SBF-SEM), Focused Ion Beam SEM (FIB-SEM), and multi-beam SEM now enable large-scale, high-resolution imaging of biological structures with unprecedented detail. Yet, data analysis remains a major bottleneck, limiting the full potential of these techniques.Recent advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning are revolutionizing vEM workflows by streamlining segmentation, reducing manual effort, and increasing analysis throughput. Combined with high-performance computing, these tools make data processing more efficient, reproducible, and accessible.This hands-on EMBO Practical Course provides practical training in advanced data processing, AI-assisted segmentation, and deep learning-based analysis. Participants will work with platforms such as MIB, Napari, EMPANADA, and Amira to confidently handle, analyze, and interpret complex vEM datasets. This EMBO Practical Course is open to researchers at various career stages with experience in imaging or data analysis.
