1 General Presentation of the Project Nathalie Impens SCK CEN Drawing lessons from stem cells and animal models outside the radiation field 13 June

2 OPERRA: General info FP 7 - EURATOM Coordination: IRSN, France (Jean-René Jourdain) Start: 1 June 2013 Duration: 5 years Total budget: 9.5 M (8 M EC contribution) 2

3 Beneficiaries from 10 EU countries 10 research institutes and 3 universities specialized in research on effects of low dose irradiation MELODI: European low dose association taking the lead in elaborating the future radiation protection research in Europe 3

4 Name Consortium Short Name Country Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire IRSN France Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie SCK CEN Belgium Bundesambt für Strahlenschutz BfS Germany Sateilyturvakeskus STUK Finland MELODI Association MELODI France Jihočeská Univerzita v Českých Budějovicích JU Czech Republic Országos "Frédéric Joliot-Curie" Sugárbiológiai és Sugáregészségügyi Kutató Intézet OSSKI Hungary Health Protection Agency HPA United Kingdom Commisariat à l Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives CEA France Fundacio Centre de Recerca en Epidemiologia Ambiental CREAL Spain Instituto Superiore di Sanità ISS Italy Helmholtz Zentrum München Deutsches Forzungszentrum für Gesundheit und Umwelt HMGU Germany Università degli Studi di Pavia UNIPV Italy Stockholms Universitet SU Sweden 4

5 Main Objective To establish an umbrella coordination structure that has the capacity, in a legal and logistical sense, to administer future calls for research in radiation protection (RP) on behalf of the European Commission 5

6 Project management (WP1) Project Structure Engaging key partners in radiation protection research as well as national & international funding agencies (WP2) Setting-up a sustainable organization governing radiation protection research, including education and training issues, in Europe (WP3) Organising research calls in radiation protection (WP3) Reaching out to universities & academic partners, new EU Member States, major stakeholders & authorities as well as other technical platforms inside and outside EURATOM (WP4) 6

7 Task 2.1 Identifying key partners involved in radiation protection research, as well as education & training, and joint programming of research activities in radiation protection Link with MoU partners (ALLIANCE, NERIS, EURADOS + medical use of IR) Task 2.2 Determining joint funding mechanisms for national & EU Fission R&D programmes Tasks Research links inside and outside the RP community WP2 7

8 WP 3 Task 3.2 Establishing a European umbrella structure for radiation protection research call administration and joint programming of research activities in radiation protection Task 3.3 Supporting the organization of competitive calls for radiation protection research 8

9 Task 4.1 Reaching out to universities and professional partners Task 4.2 Reaching out to and integrating New Member States Task 4.3 Reaching out to major stakeholders & authorities WP 4 Task 4.4 Interactions with ESFRI platforms & large EU consortia to support research in the field of radiation protection Task 4.5 Reaching out to the other technical platforms within EURATOM e.g. SNETP & IGD-TP 9

10 Task 2.1 Identifying key partners involved in radiation protection research, as well as education & training, and joint programming of research activities in radiation protection Task 2.2 Determining joint funding mechanisms for national & EU Fission R&D programmes Tasks Research links inside and outside RP community WP2 10

11 Partners in RP MELODI (Multidisciplinary Low Dose Initiative; ) NERIS (European Platform on preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergency response and recovery; ) ALLIANCE (the Radioecology Alliance EURADOS (European Radiation Dosimetry Group; 11

12 12

13 Activities since Start of OPERRA Integration of RP community: MELODI - ALLIANCE - NERIS EURADOS Update of Strategic Research Agendas (SRA) Identification of synergetic topics to prepare 2 nd OPERRA Research call First steps towards an integrated SRA in RP MoU with medical associations: ESR (European Society of Radiology) EANM (European Association for Nuclear Medicine) EFRS (European Federation of Radiographer Societies) ESTRO (European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology) EFOMP ( European Federation of Organisations on Medical Physics) 13

14 Joint Activities since Start of OPERRA 15 synergetic research priorities have been identified that need expertise of at least 2 RP research communities A web based survey will be launched to consult the RP community and stakeholders containing a.o. a request to rank the research topics This information will be provided to the experts that will write the second OPERRA call for research projects The second OPERRA call will be launched mid-december 2015 (info will be available on ) 14

15 Extract: Synergetic Research Topics Low-dose & radioecology research (MELODI-ALLIANCE) The roles of genetic and epigenetic changes in heritable/transgenerational and somatic effects relevant to individual and population health. Inter- and intra-species differences in radiosensitivity Biomarkers of exposure and effects in living organisms 15

16 WP2 Task 2.1 Identifying key partners involved in radiation protection research, as well as education & training, and joint programming of research activities in radiation protection Task 2.2 Determining joint funding mechanisms for national & EU Fission R&D programmes Tasks Research links inside and outside RP community 16

17 Tasks Linking to Various Research Fields Task 2.3 Identifying experiences and lessons learned from existing exposure situations, including Chernobyl, Fukushima and the NORM industry Task 2.4 Exploring how to enhance radiation protection research activities related to the medical uses of ionizing radiation Task 2.5 Preparing the migration from former projects in RP (DoReMi, STAR & NERIS-TP) Task 2.6 Integrating knowledge from non-radiation research 17

18 Link with Today s Workshop Task 2.6 Exploration of expertise gathered in other fields of research, not directly related to radiation protection research, with a view to strengthening the exchange and integration of knowledge between the radiation and non-radiation research communities 18
