ECR 2026

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the European Congress of Radiology 2026 (ECR 2026), held under the inspiring theme"Rays of Knowledge."This theme beautifully captures the essence of ECR: a celebration of education at the heart of radiology. It alludes both to the "rays" of radiological imaging and the continuous "rays" of wisdom that illuminate our profession
Our official congress poster features Athena, the Greek Goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and learning - a powerful symbol of Europe's deep-rooted tradition in the pursuit of truth and scientific discovery. Another fitting symbol is the owl, emblematic of vision and insight, reflecting the radiologist's ability to reveal what lies hidden to the ordinary eye. Just as the owl sees clearly through darkness, we in radiology detect what others cannot, sharpening the focus on diagnosis and patient care.

The ECR 2026 poster is a celebration of the congress theme 'Rays of Knowledge'.

The theme 'Rays of knowledge' refers to the main focus of ECR 2026, namely education. It alludes to radiology (rays) and the acquisition of knowledge symbolised by Athena, the Greek Goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and learning. And with her presence in our poster, we are transported back to ancient civilisation, where modern scientific principles originated and where there was a strong emphasis on the search for truth.

Flying from Athena's outstretched arm is an owl, another symbol of knowledge and wisdom. Just like owls navigate darkness with sharp vision, radiologists illuminate the unseen with a keen eye for detail.
