ESTRO HT group and start of ENLIGHT
• In 2000 PIMMS study was presented in Vienna. After this
the ESTRO HT group was proposed for creating a joint
platform covering the different aspects of heavy ion
therapy for the different projects in Europe which should
lead to a closer European cooperation…..
• ESTRO HT Group met on the occasion of Med AUSTRON
international advisory board meeting in in 2001.
Jean-Pierre Gerard was the President of ESTRO &
Germaine Heeren (ESTRO) was the key in catalysing this group

ENLIGHT Network
The ENLIGHT Network:
Was launched in February 2002 @ CERN
It was funded by the European Commission
between 2002 - 2005
Composed of:
Centres in Heidelberg, Lyon,
and Pavia
CERN, EORTC, ESTRO,
GSI, Karolinska, MedAustron,
TERA

PIMMS legacy
PIMMS 2000
(coordinated by CERN)
has led to:

Manjit Dosanjh – Zuppinger-Symposium 20139
PARTNER – a success story
• Particle Training Network for
European Hadrontherapy
• 10 academic institutes,
research centres, 2 leading
companies
• 29 young researchers
Outcome :
• Now working around the World
• Open access PARTNER-JRR
News from the project
• Selected as a flagship project for Marie Curie
Actions for the promotion of H2020, as a socalled “gold projects”.
• 37 projects in total from FP7 have been selected
by RTD and ENTERVISION is the only project
representing the Marie Curie Actions.
News from the projects
• EC have selected the ENVISION and ULICE
summaries to draft a "Result in Brief", a short text
written in a language more easily understandable
by a broader public.
• The text will be made available by the EC in 5
languages (English, French, German, Spanish
and Italian).
The Road Ahead….
…. what next ?
Road ahead: actions needed …
• HORIZON 2020 starts in 2014
• Reduced funding + lower level EC support = ENLIGHT community
needs to work hard
• Need agreed strategy for R&D and lobbying for common goal

•
Strengthen and enlarge network
Improve visibility : ENLIGHT-Highlights started in 2012
Increase support: COST (passed preliminary selection)
Find ways of increasing support: financial/political
(not only Horizon 2020, also ESF, ERC, others?)
