PIANOFORTE is organizing the workshop on “Artificial Intelligence and Radiation Protection” aiming at presenting and discussing current and future artificial intelligence implementations in various sectors of radiation protection, that include medical applications, radiation dosimetry, radiobiology, radioecology, emergency preparedness, response and recovery.

The workshop objectives are to:

• delineate the relevance and applicability of artificial intelligence and big data technologies in radiation protection domains and identify the thematic areas that appear to be more susceptible to artificial intelligence implementations,
• identify and develop links with scientific communities specializing on artificial intelligence and big data technologies,
• promote the artificial intelligence uptake and application in the 3rd PIANOFORTE open call

The workshop will be organized by NCSR “Demokritos” on its premises in Agia Paraskevi, Attica, Greece, on 18 and 19 April 2024 comprising thematic presentations followed by discussion sessions that include: 

• the state-of-the-art of artificial intelligence applications in radiation protection
• deliberations on future research directions that will be considered in the formulation of the topics to be funded under the 3rd PIANOFORTE open call
