| 8 | | - CIO "Charged Particles for Cancer Therapy": |
| 9 | | - Constitution finalised. Will be submitted this week. |
| 10 | | - Imperial strategy consultation: |
| 11 | | - Qualtrix input: |
| 12 | | - Required by 31Mar23. KL and IMcN will coordinate their input. |
| 13 | | - KL/IMcN considering submitting "one pager" outlining ambitions for LhARA, LhARA initiative, and potential for multidisciplinary institute. |
| 14 | | - Planning round: |
| 15 | | - KL has submitted paragraph of input to Physics planning round submission. IMcN considering submitting "matching" paragraph. |
| 16 | | - CNRS: |
| 17 | | - KL invited as part of "Brady party" to make presentation on LhARA (initiative) at meeting at CNRS HQ in Paris on 03/04Apr23. |
| 18 | | - Possible link between IRL and White City activity. |

| 21 | | - [raw-attachment:The-institute-v0_3.docx Version 0.3] |
| 22 | | - Discussion included the following pointers: |
| 23 | | - Need sentences at the beginning to place the initiative/institute in context; |
| 24 | | - Probably good idea to explain the breadth of the LhARA collaboration; 4-nations UK, international, Institut Curie in particular; |
| 25 | | - Need to emphasis key links with FOM/IC NHS H/c Trust (IMcN), OIRO (AG); |
| 26 | | - Add link to clinical applications: trials, transformation in clinical practice as ambition; |
| 27 | | - Line of sight to clinic; the "why" big picture; |
| 28 | | - Potential for spin-offs; |
| 29 | | - IBA, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Procure: system-level potential for tie up with medical-equipment provider |
| 30 | | - Instrumentation and computing as incremental/long-term impact plan, and, no-loss theorem; valuable even if LhARA should fail. |
| 31 | | - Biological impact: |
| 32 | | - In particular, unique potential to provide capability to investigate "spatial/temporal impact of beams at very high doses" |
| 33 | | |
| 34 | | - We **agreed** that bullet level inout would be provided to CJ as follows: |
