Summary In partnership with the Regional Co‐operative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology (RCA), the IAEA has been supporting Member States in the Asia and Pacific region to prepare, initiate and expand radiotherapy services safely and effectively. Education and training are essential components in IAEA‐RCA projects and have been delivered through various initiatives both online and offline. In addition to building capacity and enabling technology transfer, these initiatives provided opportunities to foster collaboration at the regional level, leading to the initiation of professional societies and education/training schemes.
