CALIBRA

The CALIBRA project at a glance The CALIBRA project (MIS 5002799) is implemented under the Action “Reinforcement of the Research and Innovation Infrastructures” which is funded by the Operational Programme “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” (NSRF 2014-2020) and co-financed by Greece and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund). CALIBRA is implemented at the Tandem Accelerator Laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP), one of the five research institutes of the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece. The project had its kickoff meeting in November 6, 2017, that was attended by more than 60 scientists from 17 Greek research performing institutions and state organizations. CALIBRA stands for “Cluster of Accelerator Laboratories for Ion-Beam Research and Applications”, which is the title of the proposal submitted in 2013 to the General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT), the Greek funding agency, within its call for the establishment of the national roadmap of research infrastructures. The CALIBRA proposal has been evaluated by an international expert committee as an excellent proposal with a score of 19/20. This score ranked CALIBRA in the top ten position in the list of 75 evaluated proposals that were submitted by scientists from all scientific disciplines. The project aims at establishing and operating an accelerator-based research infrastructure open to the national and the European scientific community to conduct research at excellence level, develop innovative applications of increased socioeconomic impact, provide highly-specialized services, unique at the country level, to the public and private sector. CALIBRA strives for contribution to the goals of the National Strategy in Research and Technology regarding the country’s thematic priorities for smart specialization (RIS3), with emphasis in human health and radiopharmaceuticals, future energy sources, materials of technological interest, cultural heritage, environmental monitoring and the development of instrumentation and its testing under harsh irradiation environments.
