History

ENLIGHT was established in 2002

Composed of: HIT, ETOILE, CNAO, CERN, ESTRO, GSI, Karolinska, MedAustron, TERA, Czech Rep, Spain

Funded as a network by the EC, 2002 - 2005

Main achievements:•Creation of a European Hadrontherapy Community•Common multidisciplinary platform with a common vision•Served as a vehicle for education and dissemination

At the end of the funding:ENLIGHT community showed clear desire for continuing and helping new initiatives….

ENLIGHT provides a multidisciplinary European collaboration amongst partners interested in hadrontherapy

ENLIGHT acts as a platform for defining research needs

Developing projects and securing funding and collaboration

ENLIGHT is a useful resource for other communities interested in hadrontherapy

ENLIGHT++ in 2009

What are the needs of the community?

• Trained researchers in this new multidisciplinary

field

• Access to the facilities and beam time for research

• Imaging, TPS, organ-motion …….

• Information sharing and networking

• Improving present technologies/facilities

• Funding ………………………………….

ULICEUnion of Light Ion Centres in Europe

ULICE is a multidisciplinary initiative that involves all the major players in Europe in the field of hadrontherapy, integrating clinical, physical, biological, and technological knowledge

ULICE structure :

- General coordination: Roberto Orecchia, CNAO - Trans-national access: Juergen Debus, HIT - Joint research activities: Richard Poetter, Vienna

University- Networking activities: Manjit Dosanjh, CERN


ULICE

The development of new instruments, the transnational European access to the existing facilities and the different communities (researchers, clinicians, patients) requires a broad network structure. The overall aims of ULICE are:

• enable the full exploitation of all available resources

• access to information• improvement of the existing and upcoming

facilities


• provide beam-time for external researchers through clinical

trial programmes aimed at improving different technical

aspects of the facilities.

• provide beam-time through ‘open requests’ from external

researchers for radiobiological and physics experiments


ULICE: Transnational access

• Develop methods to match the volume treated by

active scanning particle beams to the target volume

• Develop novel adaptive treatment planning• identify tumours that need the superior physical

selectivity provided by ion beams• Develop/investigate a new carbon ion gantry design• Develop computer assisted patient selection program based on epidemiologocal and other data
