About STAR
STAR is an international educational forum sponsored by Bayer Schering Pharma and Siemens. Its aim is to present cutting-edge developments in radiology for practising radiologists. The program symposia are held as regular forums for radiologists from the respective country, normally involving 2 days of lectures by eminent independant experts from all fields of radiology. An abstract of most lectures held so far is available on this site.

A global partnership
Bayer Schering Pharma and Siemens are perfect partners in this educational enterprise. We believe that much of our success is due to the close links we maintain with radiologists around the world. STAR is one example of our support for the professional education of radiologists. Its unique approach is that it is run without commercial overtones, which is guaranteed by the close cooperation of national and international radiological societies and independent advisors.
