The PIANOFORTE partnership has launched its 2nd open call, with online submission open from April 30 until June 23. Official texts, guidelines and templates are available on this project webpage.
With advocacy from EURAMED, medical radiation protection is strongly represented among the 4 topics of this call. Project proposals should address multidisciplinary and transnational research, and they must clearly demonstrate the potential impact on radiation protection in Europe as well as the added value of transnational collaboration.
Topic 1: Developing a knowledge base for a better understanding of disease pathogenesis of ionising radiation-induced cancer to improve risk assessment
Topic 2: Ensure readiness and scientific knowledge to support Environmental Impact Assessment and emergency preparedness and response for novel nuclear technologies
Topic 3: Development of techniques and methods to go beyond effective dose in case of internal exposure following a nuclear or radiological emergency
Topic 4: Implementation of new and optimized radiation therapy approaches for better targeting to protect healthy tissues better against detrimental effects of incising radiation.
PIANOFORTE will host an online call from 14:00-15:30 on May 14 to introduce the topics and answer questions. You may register using this link.
Start working out your proposal ideas! EURAMED looks forward to cutting edge concepts in medical radiation protection when the awardees are announced late this year!
