Progress in the field of ionising radiation (IR) metrology achieved in the BioQuaRT project raised the question to what extent radiobiological investigations would benefit from metrological support of the applied methodologies. A panel of experts from the medical field, fundamental research and radiation protection attended a workshop at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt to consult on metrology needs related to biological radiation effects. The panel identified a number of metrological needs including the further development of experimental and computational techniques for micro- and nanodosimetry, together with the determination of related fundamental material properties and the establishment of rigorous uncertainty budgets. In addition to this, a call to develop a metrology support for assisting quality assurance of radiobiology experiments was expressed. Conclusions from the workshop were presented at several international conferences for further discussion with the scientific community and stakeholder groups that led to an initiative within the metrology community to establish a European Metrology Network on biological effects of IR.
BioQuaRT项目在电离辐射（IR）计量领域所取得的进展引发了这样一个问题：放射生物学研究在多大程度上会受益于所应用方法的计量学支持。来自医学领域、基础研究和辐射防护领域的专家小组参加了在德国联邦物理技术研究院举办的一次研讨会，以商讨与生物辐射效应相关的计量学需求。该小组确定了一些计量学需求，包括进一步开发用于微剂量学和纳米剂量学的实验及计算技术，同时确定相关的基础材料特性并建立严格的不确定度预算。除此之外，还呼吁开发计量学支持以协助放射生物学实验的质量保证。研讨会的结论在多个国际会议上进行了展示，以便与科学界和利益相关者团体进行进一步讨论，这促成了计量学界发起一项倡议，即建立一个关于电离辐射生物效应的欧洲计量网络。
