DESCRIPTION:\n	The call is now closed.\n	 \n\n	Excellence in Medical Phys
 ics through Outreach\, Workshops\, Education and Research for Low and Midd
 le Income Countries (EMPOWER LMICs).\n	The 2026 ICTP College on Medical Ph
 ysics is designed to empower Medical Physics in LMICs by achieving Excelle
 nce in Medical Physics through Outreach\, Workshops\, Education\, and Rese
 arch\, thus directly influencing the overall quality of healthcare\n	The C
 ollege aims to provide a deep understanding of the fundamentals of medical
  imaging physics and their practical implementation in the management and 
 operation of complex equipment. Another key aspect of the College is relat
 ed to medical physics capacity building in developing countries.\n	 \n	Th
 e College prepares the participants to transfer their knowledge to their c
 olleagues. The participants receive a free compilation of e-learning mater
 ials that enables them to organize spin-off activities in their own countr
 ies thus creating a solid global network to lay the basics for sustainable
  growth of the profession in the developing regions.\n\n	 \n\n	Topics:Fun
