ACPSEM's APSIG (Asia-Pacific Special Interest Group) are pleased to announce the annual Elekta Travel Award. This award is to enable Medical Physicists to travel between Australia or New Zealand and a developing country (in the Asia-Pacific region) for educational purposes. It has been fully sponsored by Elekta.

The objective of the Travel Award is to assist with, in alternate years,
