The CUBE
The Cube – Unconventional. Interventional.
The Cube – ECR’s highly anticipated Interventional Radiology event – will be returning for ECR 2026, from March 4-7, in Vienna, Austria.
Under the theme ‘Unconventional. Interventional‘, the Cube provides interactive, hands-on introductions to various IR fields, including peripheral, oncological, central, and neuroradiological interventions, and serves as a creative learning environment that fosters exchange with specialists, IR experts and industry partners.
ECR 2026 participants can attend introductory and advanced sessions by experienced interventionalists, practice on the latest simulators and devices in the Simulator Adventure Park, refine their skills and immerse themselves in the future of interventional radiology.
