Nano-IBCT WG5- Workshop: experimental data, biological aspects, Belfast, November 2013
Early November saw over fifty scientists coming together in Belfast to discuss the use of experimental measurements and methods to test and validate models relevant to ion beam and nanoparticle based forms of radiotherapy as part of Working Group 5: Radiobiological scale effects (DNA DSBs detection, prediction and cellular consequences). Fittingly for such a cross-disciplinary topic, the meeting was hosted jointly by Queen’s University’s School of Maths and Physics and its Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology.
In association with this meeting as part of the re-launch of Cancer Nanotechnology as a gold standard open access journal, there will be a special collection of articles published by Springer aiming to capture the themes discussed by several of the invited speakers. COST action members with ideas for other special collections or regular paper submissions for this journal are encouraged to contact Fred Currell f.j.currell@qub.ac.uk in connection with his role as Editor-in-chief of this journal.
The Second International Conference on Radiation and Dosimetry in Various Fields of Research (RAD 2014)
will take place at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Nis, Nis, Serbia, in the period from 27th – 30th May, 2014.
The website for RAD 2014 Conference has already been created on the link http://www.rad2014.elfak.rs, and all the necessary information will be uploaded there.

Workshop on Nano-IBCT data base development
Vienna, Austria, February 24 - 26, 2012
The Nano-IBCT database workshop will be devoted to the discussion of a new database to be created within the COST Action Nano-IBCT.
The aim of this workshop is to establish contacts between the teams willing to participate in the development of the Nano-IBCT data base, to link this development to the existing project Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center ( VAMDC, http://www.vamdc.eu ), and to establish standards for the newly created Nano-IBCT Data Base.
