Description:
The main goal of the PIANOFORTE partnership is to improve protection against ionizing radiation for the public, employees, patients and the broadly understood environment, considering all possible situations related to exposure to ionizing radiation, in accordance with the basic safety principles published in the EU Directive 2013/59 / EURATOM of 5 December 2013. By assumption, the project covers all aspects of exposure to ionizing radiation related to occupational exposure, nuclear medicine, exposure to bystanders and the environment, in the context of both planned and existing exposure, as well as exposure under extraordinary conditions.
The partnership formula is based on the activities of the basic consortium in which the communities involved in research in the field of radiation protection in the EU member states are adequately represented. In the first phase of the project, this consortium is responsible for developing research priorities and formulating research topics. Research within the defined priorities is then carried out by separate consortia selected through three editions of internal competitions announced within the partnership. Both organizations participating in the partnership and any other organization interested in research about a given competition may participate in internal competitions. The partnership structure enables conducting and impartial adjudication of internal competitions.
Pre-defined, since the requirements set out in the Euratom Research and Training Program (EURATOM) 2021-2022, the research topic covers (i) improvement of the prevention, detection, and safe treatment of cancer by application of nuclear medicine means, (ii) regulations consolidation and improvement of practices in domains using ionising radiation by capturing low-dose research advances, (iii) improvement of the anticipation and resilience in case of radiological or nuclear event.
To maintain the continuity of research, it is planned to use the results obtained under the CONCERT - European Joint Program for the Integration of Radiation Protection project, implemented under the Horizon 2020 program and the strategy (SRA - strategic research agendas) developed by European research platforms (MELODI, EURADOS, EURAMED, NERIS, ALLIANCE and SHARE).
Nevertheless, the final list of priorities will be established by the partnership consortium on the basis of activities taking into account: consolidation of existing knowledge in the field of radiological protection in the EU member states; identification of the existing gaps and emerging challenges, also in the field of social sciences, resulting both from the development of existing activities related to exposure to radiation and the emergence of new areas of application of ionizing radiation; development of new, innovative methods enabling the maximization of benefits resulting from the use of ionizing radiation (and nuclear energy) while maintaining an optimal level of radiological protection.
Parallel to the research work, the partnership carries out training activities. Each year of the project implementation, a competition is announced to organize and conduct training in the field of both radiation protection and established research priorities. The goal of E&T is to provide appropriate staff for the implementation of tasks in the field of radiation protection and the development of young scientists.
