We are pleased to announce the 7th Proton Physics Research and Implementation Group (PPRIG) will be held at the National Physical Laboratory on 20 and 21 March 2025. Started in 2012, the aim of this group was originally to bring together interested parties to bid for research funding collaboratively and establish a programme of work to drive forward proton therapy related research. The two-day event provides an excellent networking opportunity for academics, industry, and clinical staff to have discussions within the relaxed leafy suburb of southwest London. The workshop will include invited speakers, debates, group discussions, conference talks and poster sessions.

This year the workshop will have the theme: Translating research into the clinic.

The theme will be reflected throughout the programme of talks and discussions to identify the current barriers and facilitators to enable research to support clinical challenges. This will involve talks and workshop discussions on topics, such as navigating regulations for novel medical devices and software, in additional to validation and translation of new planning and delivery techniques in the clinic.

Confirmed speakers (so far):

Professor Harald Paganetti ‐ Director of Physics Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Radiation Oncology at Harvard Medical School

Professor Tony Lomax ‐ Chief Medical Physicist at the Paul Scherrer Institute

Call for abstracts open now! Deadline is the 31st December 2024

Registration opens soon!
