Pre- & Post-Conference Scientific Visits
As part of TWC2026, participants have the opportunity to join optional scientific visits to two key institutions driving innovation in Radiomolecular Precision Medicine in South Africa. These visits are designed to offer additional academic insight into current research, infrastructure, and clinical translation efforts in the region.
Participation in these visits is voluntary, independent of the main congress programme, and at the participants’ own expense.
All activities are strictly scientific and educational in nature and fully aligned with Ethical MedTech guidelines.
