Transnational Call for Proposals on Radiation Protection Research is Open

Opportunities for Radiation Protection research projects under CONCERT programme

Open Call launched with deadline on 2 May 2017 with a total budget of €6.98 million.

The aims of the call are:

• To support transnational research projects that combine innovative approaches in the field of radiation protection in line with the research priorities of CONCERT;
• To actively integrate E&T activities and collaboration with universities in multidisciplinary research projects;
• To make optimal use of research infrastructures.

Topic 1 - Understanding human health effects from ionising radiation and improving dosimetry
I.    Improvement of health risk assessment associated with low dose/dose rate radiation.

II.    Improvement of occupational dosimetry.
III.    Patient-tailored diagnosis and treatment: full exploitation and improvement of technology and techniques with clinical and dose structured reporting.

Topic 2 - Radioecology, emergency and social sciences and humanities
I.    Biomarkers of exposure and effects in living organisms, as operational outcomes of a mechanistic understanding of intra- and inter-species variation of radiosensitivity under chronic low dose exposure situations.
II.    Countermeasure strategies preparedness for emergency and recovery situations.
III.    Models, tools and rationales for stakeholder engagement and informed decision-making in radiation protection research, policy and practice for situations involving exposures to ionising radiations.
