OPERRA – Open Project for the European Radiation Research Area
OPERRA (Open Project for the European Radiation Research Area) has been funded within the EU framework programme FP7. The project (2013-2017) has been successfully completed on 31 May 2017. The objective of the project was to support the Multidisciplinary European Low Dose Initiative (MELODI) in building an umbrella structure for the long-term integration of radiation protection research in Europe.
The umbrella structure covers the main areas of radiation protection:
- effects from low doses of ionizing radiation
- radioecology and emergency preparedness
- dosimetry and radiation protection for medical applications.
Here, MELODI is responsible for the low dose research area and takes the lead in developing and implementing the umbrella structure. For this, MELODI made arrangements with the other radiation protection research platforms. The work being done in OPERRA is an important basis for the execution of the CONCERT project.
The results of OPERRA can be found on the homepage.
