Belgian Society of Radiotherapy Oncology (Bestro)

the bvro/abro is the scientific organisation of radiation oncology in belgium. membership is open for radiation oncologists, radiation oncologists in training, radiation physicists, radiobiologists, biomedici, radiation therapists. the bvro/abro is a non-profit organisation in agreement with belgian law. in 2012 the bvro/abro and the vbs/gbs decided to join forces. several activities overlapped and were sometimes not coordinated. also the number of active members was limited. a complete fusion of the two organisations was not possible, because the vbs/gbs has only medical specialists (and trainees) as members (see further), whereas the bvro-abro also has physicists (…) and foreign members. therefore it was decided that the 2 organisations will continue to exist separately, but that the board of the vbs/gbs and bvro/abro would be mirrored: both boards have identical structure and board members. or in other words : each board member has 2 caps. in practice meetings are always joint meet
