Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology shared a post on LinkedIn:

The Princess Máxima Center is honored to have been designated as an IAEA Collaborating Center for a period of four years to strengthen pediatric radiation oncology, medical physics and nutrition.

Together, we will support pediatric radiotherapy teams on enhancing their knowledge, skills and expertise through joint activities in education, training, quality improvement and research. Today Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the IAEA, and prof. dr. Rob Pieters, Chief Máxima International, signed the four-year partnership in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Máxima.

‘I am very pleased that paediatric radiotherapy teams will be able to take what they have learned at the Princess Máxima Center back to colleagues in their home countries, and ultimately to the children and families who count on them’, said Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the IAEA.

‘This four-year partnership will significantly contribute to our center’s mission, which is the mission shared by pediatric oncologists worldwide: curing every child with cancer, with the best possible quality of life. Everywhere’, added Rob Pieters, Chief Máxima International.”

Rob Pieters, President of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) and Chief Maxima International, Executive Committee of Princess Maxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, shared this post, adding:

“Happy and proud to share this important step in our Maxima International program to support the development of childhood cancer centers worldwide!”
