Sumario: | The South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was
proposed in 2016 at the World Academy of Art and Science, with the objective of building a
facility for charged particle cancer therapy for the South Eastern European countries. SEEIIST
will offer the world-class research needed to reduce or even revert the brain drain that is causing
a shortage of talent and economic losses in South East Europe. There is no particle therapy in
South-East Europe in spite of a growing number of cancers being diagnosed. The facility beam
time will be shared 50:50 between treating patients and performing research with a wide
spectrum of different light ions beyond the presently used protons and carbon ions, which will
make the facility unique in the world. SEEIIST Project is presently in a Conceptual to a Design
Phase, implemented with the support of the EU and the involvement of CERN and GSI. The
next phase of the project realization will include a final technical design for the facility, a structure
and a business plan for the organization and the definition of conditions for the site selection. |
