Expected Outcome: this topic is a continuation of the co-funded European partnership for research into radiation protection and detection of ionising radiation (PIANOFORTE) and constitutes the EU’s contribution for 2026-2027. The establishment of the partnership will contribute to the expected outcomes specified in topic HORIZON-EURATOM-2021-NRT-01-09. The partnership is expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: establishing improved risk estimates for the justification of practices and optimisation of radiological protection of members of the public, patients, workers and the environment in all exposure situations (medical, natural, occupational and accidental – including co‑exposure and overlapping risks) to support the implementation of the Basic Safety Standards Directive; advancing state-of-the-art understanding of the link between exposure characteristics (radiation quality, dose, dose-rate and dose effects versus gravity) and cancer and non-cancer effects (including optimised detection and dosimetry); developing a knowledge base and analytical tools for the major features of variability in radiation response (including tissue reactions, cancers and cellular aging, and radio-induced immunoresponse) in humans and ecosystems; advancing integrative radiobiology, from basic mechanisms to clinic and epidemiology (including human and social sciences) to further characterise and evaluate ionising radiation effects; providing a scientific basis for, and establishment of, priorities for medical applications of ionising radiation (taking a broad approach to the public health impact) in order to address knowledge gaps that are relevant for decision-making; reinforce the risk/benefit analysis; advance individual patient dosimetry by using radiobiology research results; develop recommendations, procedures and tools for improving radiation protection of patients; and supporting the effective transfer of new and optimised medical procedures into clinical practice; providing a scientific basis for recommendations, procedures and tools for improving radiation protection of workers and the public in line with the Basic Safety Standards Directive; providing a scientific basis for recommendations, procedures and tools for assuring and improving preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergency response and recovery (including improved knowledge of which values need to be accounted for in stakeholder involvement); direct monitoring of the radiological population and indirect monitoring through environment sampling and measurement (also based on computational techniques that use big data and AI); and improving hospital capabilities in emergency support; providing quality assurance for all measurements. This includes traceability and the assignment of uncertainties to results; reinforcing training through research in the field of radiation protection and encouraging continuous training and career upgrades; facilitating access to research infrastructure and promoting the integration of data and FAIRisation processes (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable); improving public engagement and the understanding of public perception of radiation risks; identifying different target groups among stakeholders; and communicating to and involving the general public on radiation risks and protection measures in order to promote public acceptance. Scope: the Commission invites proposals for the establishment of the European Partnership for research into radiation protection and detection of ionising radiation. Proposed partnerships should fulfil the requirements set out in this topic as well as meet the criteria for the selection and implementation of European partnerships and their monitoring, evaluation, phase-out or renewal as set in the Horizon Europe Regulation. Radiation protection research funded under this Partnership should provide solutions and recommendations for protecting people and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of ionising radiation (as required by the Basic Safety Standards Directive). A reinforced multidisciplinary approach to research, innovation and citizen involvement is needed in order to further develop the knowledge base and enable implementation of innovations regarding risks from different exposures to radiation, thereby enabling the application of that knowledge to direct gains in radiation protection culture and practice. The influence of individual’s characteristics (e.g. their sex and age) and interaction with other risk factors will have to be addressed as part of research into individual sensitivity, susceptibility and degenerative fragility. This is a significant concern in medical applications, which are to be justified and optimised on the basis of sound evidence and scientific outcomes. Implementation of this Partnership would require the cooperation of the entire European research community in order to exploit synergies between different scientific disci
