The final program for each workshop will be available later in the year, check back here for more details.
All workshops will occur at the Pullman Albert Park.
Clinical Research Education Workshop (CREW)
The Clinical Research Educational Workshop (CREW) has been a cornerstone of TROG Cancer Research for over a decade. The CREW provides an inclusive forum for professional development for clinical trial coordinators, data managers, research nurses research managers, and other related disciplines. This full-day workshop provides advanced education in many areas relating to clinical trials and is an opportunity for participants to increase their knowledge base, while fostering participation in clinical trials and networking with like-minded people.
Technical Research Workshop (TRW)
The TROG TRW is a full-day workshop for Radiation Therapists, Medical Physicists and Radiation Oncologists. It is designed to help facilitate participation in clinical trials and to promote the use of new technology in clinical research.
The workshop provides advanced education across a range of clinical trial and technical research topics, offering participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge, explore current and emerging practices, and network with colleagues who share a passion for advancing cancer research.
The 2026 workshop, A.L.I.C.E. in a Wonderland of Research – Advancing Learning by Driving Innovation with Clinical Evidence, explored the technical frontiers of radiation oncology through presentations on spatially fractionated radiotherapy, margins and uncertainties, and the latest SEAFARER project updates. Delegates also participated in an interactive secondary data analysis workshop, heard from a multidisciplinary panel discussing practice-changing clinical trials, and engaged in a thought-provoking debate on the future of radiotherapy clinical trials and the evolving role of healthcare professionals.
Statistical Methods, Evidence Appraisal & Research for Trainees Workshop (SMART)
The RANZCR SMART Workshop is a full-day workshop directly designed to enhance trainee knowledge and skills in Statistical methods, Critical appraisal of the medical literature and Research methodology.
The workshop will have interactive small group sessions, guided by Radiation Oncologists and Biostatisticians, to discuss actively recruiting and published cancer clinical trials. The SMART Workshop is an opportunity for trainees to meet with local researchers within TROG, and international researchers.
There are two SMART workshops that run on alternate years: Study Design Concepts (workshop A) and Evidence Appraisal Skills (workshop B). Trainees are encouraged to attend both workshops. This year’s SMART Workshop theme is Evidence Appraisal Skills (workshop B).
The Workshop will be followed by a catered networking function.
