Two oral presentations about the EBreast project activities were made at the European Congress of Radiology 2018 in Vienna. Anja Henner from Oulu University of Applied Sciences made a presentation “Mammography performance and quality assurance in five European countries”, and Eija Metsälä from Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences made a presentation titled “Eyes on the future of mammography education and training: what needs to be focused on to match the demands of the clinical practice”. Both presentations were followed by a number of questions from the audience, mostly about the availability of the learning materials being prepared within the EBreast project. ESR members can find the presentations online on ECR 2018 http://ecronline.myesr.org/ecr2018/

The fourth transnational meeting of the EBreast project was carried out on October 12-13 in Bergen, Norway. This time the meeting was hosted by the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. The topics covered and the issues discussed during the two meeting days focussed mainly on the preparation of two last e-learning modules to be completed during the last year of this project. A preliminary schedule and content of an intensive training session to be carried out in May 2018 was also planned. These two days involved also a tour in the University Campus Kronstad, introducing the participants modern training facilities and a fascinating combination of the old and the modern architecture. Each transnational meeting is offering some local specificities – this time the fish market, the dishes made of fish and the rain that seemed to last for ever.
One more research article has been accepted for publishing regarding the research studies carried out within the EBreast project. This article is published in Radiography, providing an overview of a qualitative study exploring radiography teachers’/mentors’ and student radiographers’ perspectives on challenges in mammography education today.

Eija Metsälä presented the results of EBreast project in the Nordic congress of Radiology and Radiography on Thursday 29th July. The title of the presentation was 'Mammography quality control practices in five European countries.
See Congress facebook pages https://www.facebook.com/ncr2017/ The third transnational of the EBreast project took place on March 30-31 in Oulu, Finland.
