HZDR participates in European research project UPLIFT
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has joined forces with 14 scientific institutions from all over Europe in the research project UPLIFT. Their common goal is to advance research on radiation therapy with an upright patient position – a paradigm shift with the potential to significantly improve global access to advanced radiation treatments. At the same time, the project is intended to develop the next generation of experts in this field. The European Union is funding UPLIFT as a “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network” with four million euros. In addition, the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation is providing around half a million euros in funding.
