This is to announce our 7th Summer School in Medical Physics that will take place in a hybrid mode in August/ September 2026. The Summer School provides a comprehensive introduction to the role of 3D printing in medical physics, with a particular focus on applications in radiotherapy. It is aimed at students (BSc, MSc, PhD, MD) and young scientists with a background in medical physics, physics, medical technology or similar fields. The course consists of an approximately five-week online phase, followed by a five-day hybrid attendance phase. Further information is available at www.dkfz.de/summer_school2026 .
