Towards a European production of stable isotopes for novel nuclear medicine therapies (SAMIRA/ERVI)

investigación innovación I+D+i desarrollo tecnológico europeo. HORIZON Innovation Actions Expected Outcome: The project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: support for the development of EU production of stable isotopes that are essential for the manufacturing of radionuclides used in novel nuclear medicine therapies; strengthening of the resilience and security of the EU medical radioisotope supply chain by securing access to source materials, reducing dependence on third countries and enhancing industrial-scale production (including the sourcing of stable isotopes); leveraging of the knowledge and expertise of nuclear scientists, physicists and engineers in order to develop and optimise the processes for the EU-based production of stable isotopes, while contributing to Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and implementing the Strategic Agenda for Medical Ionising Radiation Applications (SAMIRA). Scope: Radiological and nuclear technologies are integral to modern healthcare. They play a crucial role in cancer care – from early detection and diagnosis to treatment and palliative support. They also support the diagnosis and management of a wide range of other conditions (including cardiovascular and neurological diseases). Each year, patients throughout
