The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is the largest radiology society in the world. It was founded in December 2005 by merging the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and the European Association of Radiology (EAR), thus establishing a single house of radiology in Europe. It is an apolitical, non-profit organisation, exclusively and directly dedicated to promoting and coordinating the scientific, philanthropic, intellectual and professional activities of Radiology in all European countries. The ESR promotes and coordinates the scientific, intellectual, and professional actions of radiology in Europe. Through its various activities in education, research, collaboration, and publications, as well as its annual congress ECR, the ESR advances radiology and enhances the role of radiologists in healthcare. The ESR also organises the European Congress of Radiology, which takes place once a year in Vienna. The ECR is an international meeting and one of the leading events in radiology. It is one of the largest medical meetings in Europe and the second-largest radiological meeting in the world. ECR attendees span all areas of the radiology arena including radiology professionals, radiographers, physicists, industry representatives, and press reporters for both the medical and consumer press.
