The approach is very broad and aims to develop patient-oriented strategies (effects of radiotherapy, hormone treatments, etc.) from prevention to diagnosis and treatment.

Similarly, under the Competitive and Sustainable Growth Programme, research on industrial technologies has integrated the dimensions of environmental and social impacts [e.g. cleaner and safer production systems and solutions, waste management, life-cycle product approach, adapted materials to minimize environment impact, avoidance of hazardous materials, use of materials protecting from electromagnetic (EM) radiation (mobile phones, personal computers, etc.), new organizational approaches at the industry improving health and the environment, etc.

- Quantification of risks associated with low and protracted exposures: research will focus on epidemiological studies of suitable exposed populations, complemented by cellular and molecular biology research on the interaction between radiation and the DNA, cells, organs, and the body.

- Quantification of risks associated with low and protracted exposures: research will focus on epidemiological studies of suitable exposed populations and on mechanistic studies to understand the relationship between exposures and early or late radio-induced health effects (by cellular and molecular biology research on the interaction between radiation and the DNA, cells, organs and the body).

More than just a programme of funding, it is meant to provide incentives and stimulus, with the focus on five main activities: - Development and promotion of cultural heritage - Networks and partnerships - Access to heritage - Innovation, training and professional mobility - Cooperation with non-member countries and international organizations. The actions are based on: - a comprehensive approach for Community action (by stepping up consultations and cooperation between the departments involved); - subsidiarity and complementarity with Member States' activities: prime responsibility for preserving the heritage lies with the Member State ...[+++]s.
