BCR & JCR

• This fruitful cooperation to be continue by:

A) Exchange of renown speakers between BSR and JSR B) Exchange training program for young Japanese Radiologists to visit Balkan centers of excellence & vice versa C) Defining fields of potential joint scientific research collaboration between the two societies D) e-posters & oral presentations by Japanese radiologists to be accepted in the annual BCR meetings

Future Directions

• Further evolution of BSR in close cooperation

with ESR

• Continue offering to our members an attractive

program based on broad cover of main radiological key topics

• Enhance cooperation among Balkan Radiologists
• Enhance the strong links with JCR –establish

educational and research programs of mutual interest especially for young radiologists both from Japan and Balkan area
