Following the COST Info Day, the event ‘Start of the SEEIIST Design Phase’ will take place on 18 September in Budva. The event will inform about the advancement of the SEEIIST project as it moves forward from the conception to the design phase. SEEIIST's objective is to develop a ‘Facility for Tumour Therapy and Biomedical Research with Protons and Heavier Ions’ and it has so far received support from the European Commission (DG RTD), CERN and GSI-FAIR. Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, will give a welcoming speech at the event. COST Director, Ronald de Bruin, will present the COST mission and strategic goals, placing emphasis on the COST objectives of networking and capacity building, which are also two core principles of the SEEIIST project.
