General Information
Prepare for the upcoming ECR annual congress at the Austria Center Vienna. The European Congress of Radiology 2026 will be held from March 4th to 8th, attracting over 20,000 delegates globally. Participants will include radiologists, technologists, scientists, researchers, and industry representatives from over 100 countries.
Foundation
The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is among the largest and most significant radiology events globally. It first took place in 1967 in Barcelona, Spain. In 1987, it became a biennial event and moved permanently to Vienna in 1991. As its popularity increased, the ECR transitioned to an annual conference in 1999. A key milestone occurred in 2005 when the European Association of Radiology (EAR) merged with the ECR organization to establish the European Society of Radiology (ESR). Since then, the ECR has served as the ESR's primary annual gathering, drawing thousands of radiology specialists from across the globe each year.
