Enjoy a premium educational experience, free for charge, that fits into your busy schedule. The ESSR live webinars are designed for radiologists and residents in radiology with an interest in musculoskeletal imaging. Beside selected open access videos, past webinars can be viewed at the ESSR eLearning Platform. The aim is to promote the society’s mission in education and research of the imaging of musculoskeletal diseases with a focus on the European tradition of problem solving in this field. New knowledge should be brought from science into clinical practice. The webinars contain interactive lectures given by opinion leaders in their field, clinical case vignettes, live discussions, and practice tips. Presentations are optimized for micro e-learning, i. e. for the comfortable use with mobile devices. The learning objectives are oriented on the requirements of the ESSR Diploma and the musculoskeletal part of the ESR board examination.

European Course on Spine Radiology
This Advanced course is jointly organised between the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) and the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) and is intended to provide a jointly effort to a deeper knowledge of X-Ray and CT guided procedures to give radiologists a wide range of new possibilities in treating the spine, reducing the risk of side effects and complications in comparison to conventional “open surgery”. Each cycle has two modules and will be repeated every two years.
CME Accreditation
The European Course on Spine Radiology is asking for CME accredition for each module.
Aims
The ESSR has become one of the primary MSK Radiology Societies across the globe for membership,
educational activities and as provider of the well-renowned international MSK diploma.
ESSR Connects is an initiative designed to strengthen musculoskeletal radiology education and
collaboration across Europe and beyond. Whether through expert-led educational courses in regions with
developing MSK radiology or by facilitating connections between ESSR and national radiology societies,
ESSR Connects will aim to ensure a strong and integrated network for advancing knowledge and best
practices in musculoskeletal imaging. This initiative will strengthen and focus ESSR educational activities by
simplifying and merging the overview of the previous Outreach, Meets and National Society programs.
Applications for the period 2026–2028 are now open. Please submit your application to office@essr.org by 1 February 2026. Proposals will be reviewed and approved during the subsequent ExCom meeting.
