To integrate
To integrate, open up and broaden the leading European research infrastructure for the treatment with beams of heavy ions.
To Coordinate
To coordinate and strengthen the research programmes on heavy ion therapy of different European institutions
To Develop
To jointly develop novel technologies to improve the present and the next generation accelerators and their ancillary systems for heavy ion therapy in Europe
To Joint
To establish a European multidisciplinary community for heavy ion therapy research, aiming at improving treatment strategies and modalities, and to extend this community towards South East Europe.
To Define
To define the main technical features and the scientific programme of a future pan-European research infrastructure for medical and radiobiological research with heavy ion beams
Consortium
The consortium consists of 2 major European heavy ion physics laboratories, 4 European ion therapy centres, 8 world-class research institutions, 5 leading universities, 3 innovative SME’s (two of which from SEE region). Their combined knowledge and background, grounded in experience of running four state-of-the-art treatment facilities and committed user communities, constitutes the core of this proposal.
