ST 2 - Rays of Knowledge in Radiography: Education, Research, Clinical Innovation and Leadership

In this opening interview, the President of the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) will be joined by the Chair of the ECR Radiographers’ Scientific Subcommittee and the Chair of the EFRS Research Hub to explore how the ECR 2026 theme, “Rays of Knowledge”, comes to life in radiography. Together, they will discuss how education, clinical innovation and research are increasingly interconnected, and how radiographers are assuming evolving leadership roles in imaging departments, academia and multidisciplinary teams.


The conversation will highlight the vision behind the Radiographers’ Programme, the strategic aims of the EFRS Research Hub and the opportunities ECR 2026 offers to students, early-career and experienced radiographers alike. By connecting perspectives from practice and research, the interview will set the stage for a congress that truly “learns to see” how everything in radiography is connected in the service of better patient care.
