Overview of PIANOFORTE research topics that were selected as priorities for each of the three open calls (2023, 2024 and ongoing 2025) [4]
| Open Call (with some statistics) | Topics |
|---|---|
| First Open Call implemented in 2023 22 proposals, 9 selected for funding |
1: Developing a knowledge base for a better understanding of disease pathogenesis of ionising radiation-induced cancer to improve risk assessment. 2: Individualised diagnostic as well as therapeutic procedures with regard to optimisation of the benefit/risk ratio. 3: Development of risk assessment and risk management approaches and technological capabilities to cope with scenarios arising from threats due to war or armed conflicts situations or natural disasters taking into consideration social, ethical and legal issues. |
| Second Open Call implemented in 2024 21 proposals, 8 selected for funding |
1: Developing a knowledge base for a better understanding of disease pathogenesis of ionising radiation-induced cancer to improve risk assessment. 2: Ensure readiness and scientific knowledge to support Environmental Impact Assessment and Emergency Preparedness and Response for novel nuclear technologies 3: Development of techniques and methods to go beyond effective dose in case of internal exposures following a nuclear or radiological emergency 4: Implementation of new and optimised radiation therapy approaches for better targeting to protect healthy tissues better against detrimental effects of ionising radiation. |
| Third Open Call under implementation in 2025 | 1: Investigating the effects of temporal and spatial variations in dose delivery on the risk of health effects. 2: Developing an integrated approach for risk assessment and evaluation from environmental exposure to ionising radiation. 3: Use of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data techniques to improve emergency response – covering radiological impact assessments, decision support, data collection response and recovery strategies and public engagement, communication and education. |
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
