Multidisciplinary
European Low Dose Initiative

MELODI is an European Platform dedicated to low dose radiation risk research. In 2010 MELODI was founded as a registered association with 15 members.
The purpose of MELODI is:

• MELODI will propose R&T priorities for Europe in its field of competence
  - EUROPE 2020 Strategy.

• MELODI will seek the views of stakeholders on the priorities for research, keep them informed on progress made, and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge.

• MELODI will interface with international partners like WHO and IAEA.

Based on the outcomes of the yearly MELODI workshops a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) is being progressively developed. The different versions of the SRA can be found under MELODI documents. To assure an open and vivid discussion and development of the SRA the contribution from a large number of scientists and stakeholders is urgently needed. All comments and further input are highly welcome and shall be sent to melodi@bfs.de.

In parallel to the SRA a statement on a short- to medium-term research agenda for R&T projects is developed to improve the scientific basis for radiation protection in Europe giving guidance for pending EURATOM R&T project calls. These recommendations can be found under MELODI documents. Comments on the statements are welcome, too.

Presentations, given during the third workshop from 2 to 4 November 2011 in Rome are now available here: http://melodi-online.eu/melodi_3ws.html.

The 4th International MELODI Workshop will be organised on 12-14 September 2012 in Helsinki, Finland. A specific workshop website is under construction (www.melodi2012.org).
