“Farewell symposium of a GIANT in Radiation Oncology – Prof. Ben Slotman
What’s makes Ben a giant in our field?
- Almost 40 years at Amsterdam UMC / Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
- Developed the smallest academic center in the Netherlands to one of the largest in Europe
- Pushing the boundaries of Radiation Oncology, again and again
- PI of practice changing trials
- Leader of many international societies, including European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)
- A mentor and friend of today`s and tomorrow`s leaders
- and much more …
The recognition goes far beyond our discipline and beyond the medical field: decoration with a Royal award known as ‘’konijnkelijk onderscheiding”
The farewell symposium highlighted many exciting developments of our discipline: it was an honor celebrating you and with you, dear Ben!”
