The E3 programme emphasises the importance of lifelong learning. It covers the entire range of educational issues, from undergraduate medical education to subspecialised continuing professional development. The E3 programme is structured according to the different levels defined by the ESR European Training Curriculum for Radiology (ETC).

The E3 programme consists of the following branches, which reflect the different levels of education in radiology, as well as the different stages of an individual’s professional career.

The E³ – Young ECR Programme is tailored for residents, students, radiographers, and trainee radiographers, designed especially to offer a variety of essential knowledge. An assortment of sessions is provided to ensure a thorough examination of the topics, including Basic Sessions, Case-Based Diagnosis Training Sessions, Student Sessions, and the Radiology Trainees Forum Programme, including the RTF Highlighted Lectures and the entertaining RTF Quiz.

The E³ – European Diploma Prep sessions aim to provide preparation for future European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR) candidates and are held in close cooperation with the European Board of Radiology (EBR). They are also suitable for residents wishing to obtain an overview of the various topics relevant to imaging, and for those preparing for their national board examinations. The content of the programme reflects Levels I+II European Training Curriculum for Radiology (ETC) learning objectives across a two-year cycle.

The E³ – Beauty of Basic Knowledge sessions offer participants the chance to refresh their knowledge in fundamental topics of imaging. This year, the Beauty of Basic Knowledge sessions focus on sports, hybrid and vascular imaging, allowing anyone from new residents to board-certified radiologists to strengthen their understanding in these essentials of radiology.

The E³ – Advanced Courses are a series of sessions covering subjects of great relevance. This year’s courses include imaging of the heart, sustainable technological innovations and image-guided therapy. Conducted by specialists in their discipline, the various sessions within each course demonstrate the multiple facets of these topics while complementing one another to provide an in-depth exploration of the respective field.

The E³ – ECR Master Classes focus on continuous professional development and lifelong learning. The classes are designed for subspecialised radiologists seeking cutting-edge information in their particular fields of interest. They are held by experts in the field and reflect state-of-the-art knowledge, as well as emerging trends. The contents mostly cover Level III European Training Curriculum (ETC) learning objectives and beyond.
