ELI - Germany Research Workshop Series: Innovations and Mechanisms in Radiotherapy
Innovations and Mechanisms in Radiotherapy workshop will take place on 22–23 January 2026 at the Garching Research Center (Forschungszentrum) near Munich, Germany. The event will bring together researchers and experts from the German scientific community and representatives of the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) facilities to strengthen collaboration and explore new opportunities in radiotherapy research.
The discussions will focus on:
- emerging accelerator technologies and their complementarity to conventional accelerators,
- novel radiobiology approaches supporting the translation of innovative treatment modalities such as:
- radioimmunotherapy
- FLASH
- MBT
- VHEE
- BNCT.
By connecting ELI’s advanced laser-driven facilities with Germany’s leading radiobiology and accelerator research, the workshop aims to identify synergies and shape future directions in next-generation radiotherapy.
The programme will feature scientific presentations, facility highlights, and discussion sessions, offering participants an opportunity to present their research achievements, infrastructures, and future experimental needs. It will also include an overview of relevant initiatives and facilities across Germany and technologies available at ELI sites in Czechia, Hungary, and Romania, fostering an exchange of expertise and new collaborative ideas.
The workshop is planned as a small event focusing on the exchange - an active engagement of participants by providing short presentations - is strongly encouraged.
A joint dinner is planned after the first day of the workshop to encourage additional networking.
This workshop is part of a series aimed at strengthening collaboration between ELI and the German research community, as well as promoting participation in ELI's User Programme.
