Multidisciplinary
European Low Dose Initiative

The HLEG Report recommends the setting up of a European Platform dedicated to low dose risk research, called MELODI (Multidisciplinary European Low Dose Initiative).

Five of the national institutions participating in the HLEG have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) in order to initiate the process of setting up of such a platform.

The process foreseen to set up the MELODI Platform is described in an introductory document setting out the key steps and the expected deliverables.

The Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS), on behalf of the MELODI signatories, has organized a First MELODI Open Workshop in Stuttgart on September 28th and 29th 2009. 156 scientists, representatives of the regulatory community and interested stakeholders of 23 European countries, USA and Japan took an active part in the workshop and discussed the future development of low dose radiation research in Europe. The presentations, given during the workshop are listed on this website.
