ESHNR European Society of Head and Neck Radiology

What ESHNR European Society of Head and Neck Radiology does

ESHNR (European Society of Head and Neck Radiology) is a nonprofit professional medical society founded in 1987 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria (ZVR 421925549). It serves radiologists, residents, medical students, and a smaller contingent of dental professionals with specialized education, training, and professional development in head and neck imaging. The society's offerings span a monthly webinar series (running since December 2018 and UEMS/EACCME-accredited for CME credit), an annual in-person congress rotating through European cities (38th edition scheduled for Budapest in September 2026), a biennial online Masterclass with capped enrollment (~120 participants), the ESHNR Diploma certification program, structured Mentoring and Student Mentoring initiatives, the SHINE Group for young professionals, and an annual ESHNR Case Challenge hosted on LinkedIn. Supporting assets include clinical guidelines, the European Training Curriculum in Head & Neck Radiology, the iENE Online Course in head and neck cancer imaging, ESOR scholarship/fellowship pathways, and curated journal resources.

The society operates a community-led go-to-market model. Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring membership dues (subscription), tiered annual congress registration fees (€100–€635 depending on member status and registration window), biennial Masterclass fees (€450–€950), and CME-accredited webinar participation (free to attend; recordings member-only). Pricing is published with 27% VAT applied separately. Distribution runs through the myESR portal (integrated with the European Society of Radiology), the ESHNR website, monthly Zoom webinars, LinkedIn, and Twitter, with in-person congresses as the primary annual anchor event. ESHNR maintains core partnerships with ESR and the European School of Radiology (ESOR), and holds UEMS/EACCME accreditation for its 2026 webinar program.

The organization is lean — seven employees in total — and is governed by elected officers rather than shareholders. It has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors, consistent with its nonprofit, member-driven status. Geographic reach spans 30+ European cities across its congress history plus select U.S. venues, with webinar audiences drawn globally.
