Minister Damjanović takes part at the First Meeting of the International Biophysics Collaboration in GSI and FAIR

Minister of Science Dr. Sanja Damjanović has taken part in the first meeting of the International Biophysics Collaboration, which took place at GSI and FAIR. The three-day conference was attended by more than 200 researchers, scientists and students from all over the world. The Collaboration exploits the opportunities offered by FAIR and other new accelerator facilities in biomedical applications of ion beams.

During the conference, Minister Damjanović presented one of the newly planned facilities – the South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST), as a facility for tumour therapy and biomedical research which is supposed to be equally used for patient treatment and for research. The aim is, she said, to offer a regional possibility for excellent research to students and scientists of all countries from Slovenia to Greece.

In order to network, coordinate and strengthen future biophysical research at FAIR and other large accelerator facilities, the first meeting of the International Biophysics Collaboration took place at GSI and FAIR. The participants were welcomed by Professor Paolo Giubellino, Scientific Managing Director of GSI and FAIR, Professor Karlheinz Langanke, Research Director of GSI and FAIR, and Professor Marco Durante, Head of the Biophysics Department.
