The goal of this meeting is to give input to CERN on what the medical community would need in terms of diagnostics/ imaging, accelerator-based facilities and big data.
The desired outcome of the meeting is a document describing the view from the medical and users’ community outlining the top priorities, challenges and needs from physics, radiobiology and information sciences in the next 10 years in
1. Particle Therapy
2. Imaging
3. Radio-isotopes / Nuclear Medicine
4. Medical data
Open Plenary Meeting
Three speakers for each topic will cover the current status from a technical perspective, current status from a medical perspective and where do we need/want to go in this field in the coming 10 years.
Breakout sessions and involvement of Participants
Participants are invited to share their research, as well as discuss challenges and views of new developments for building a global perspective. Participants are encouraged to provide their input by bringing 1-2 slides on their perspective to the breakout session.
Reporting to the General Meeting
One of the three speakers will report back the summary of their breakout session on Sunday morning.
Final outcome document
One or two scientific secretaries per topic will be chosen who will take notes and collect the slides from the participants. After the meeting they will assist the three speakers in preparing their section of the final document.
The points to be considered for the final document are:
What does the community need in the coming 10 years?
Which are the big challenges?
Who can do this?
What would be good to have from CERN in these areas?
Who are the other natural partners?
