Hosted by: ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development)
Event Overview
On November 26, 2026, the ENEA Frascati Research Center will host a dedicated event showcasing TOP-IMPLART (Proton Therapy – Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator for RadioTherapy). This innovative proton accelerator was developed by ENEA in collaboration with the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) and the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute (IFO-IRE), with the crucial support of the Lazio Region.
The research and development pipeline has significantly strengthened institutional expertise in accelerator technology. Going beyond its original cancer therapy goals, the facility has evolved into a multidisciplinary infrastructure open to wide-ranging applications. These include radiobiology, dosimetry, materials characterization, and radiation hardness testing for electronic components and systems, which is highly relevant to the aerospace sector.
The event will provide a strategic forum for researchers, institutional representatives, and businesses to discuss the scientific, technological, and social value of this infrastructure. Discussions will focus on technology transfer opportunities for the production system, as well as strategies to ensure its long-term growth and sustainability. Presentations will delve into the current status of the project and prospects for leveraging these specialized irradiation services and expertise.
The day’s program features a guided tour of the accelerator and its experimental lines, giving attendees a firsthand look at the facility’s technical capabilities and its diverse range of operational applications.
Note: The detailed event schedule and program are currently being finalized.
