I. Improvement of health risk assessment associated with low dose/dose rate radiation.
II. Improvement of occupational dosimetry.
III. Patient-tailored diagnosis and treatment: full exploitation and improvement of technology and techniques with clinical and dose structured reporting.
Topic 2 - Radioecology, emergency and social sciences and humanities I. Biomarkers of exposure and effects in living organisms, as operational outcomes

RECOMMENDATIONS
Impact and collaboration
Proposals must clearly demonstrate the potential impact on radiation protection in Europe as well as the added value of transnational collaboration: sharing of resources (models, registries, diagnoses, etc.), harmonisation of data, sharing of specific know-how and/or innovative technologies.
The individual project partners of the joint applications should be complementary and the proposed work should contain novel, innovative, ambitious ideas and their potential application to the end user.
Education and Training
Education and training is a part of all activities within CONCERT. Proposals should include a plan for integration of education and training into the research programme, with a description of the proposed activities. The proposal should also give details of collaboration or involvement with academic departments, and of intended PhD thesis work, MSc project work, teaching seminars, ad hoc courses on the topics of the proposal, etc., where possible.
This project has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No 662287.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Quality assurance, Open Access and Infrastructures
Proposals must clearly identify the infrastructures required to perform the research and belonging to the following three categories:
1. irradiation platforms and contamination sites
2. databases, sample banks and cohorts,
3. analytical platforms (including ‘omics ones), models and tools.
The applicant to the call should document the expertise in using such infrastructures.
Proposals must demonstrate the appropriateness of the approaches, techniques or infrastructures that they plan to use, in terms of feasibility, reliability, quality assurance and traceability of the results to be generated in relation to the objectives of the project (e.g. reliable dose quantification, common standards for omics).
This project has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No 662287.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A Data Management Plan (DMP), and if applicable, a Sample Management Plan (SMP), should be included in the proposal (http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-data-mgt_en.pdf)
Social Sciences and Humanities
Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) are given an enhanced role as a cross-cutting issue. Even if proposals do not belong to the SSH relevant sub-topic, they may contain contributions from the SSH disciplines.
