Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure and an honor to extend a warm invitation to participate in the 9th International Symposium on Space Radiation and Particle Radiotherapy, which will be held in Suzhou, China, on September 22-25, 2023.

The meeting will also include the following parallel scientific gatherings:

• 2nd Chinese Summit on Space Radiation Research,
• Chinese Workshop on Clock Biology,
• Annual Meeting of Jiangsu Association of Radiation toxicology.

This is the 22nd anniversary of International Symposium on Space Radiation and Particle Radiotherapy first held in Arona, Italy, in 2000, with subsequent meetings in Japan, USA, Russia, Germany, and China. In the last few years, exciting discoveries and events in space research have been made, including Hayabusa from Japan and OSIRIS-Rex from United States landed on Bennu; international space agencies are pursing mission returning to the Earth’s moon, meanwhile Starliner from Boeing and Crewed Dragon from SpaceX planning to send tourist to space. NASA now committed the long-term Artemis program, which includes the mission bringing the first women and next man with the ORION spacecraft to the moon. In the past few years, China has successfully built a space station and announced her plan to land on the Moon by 2030. Similarly, NASA and other space agencies are planning missions to the Moon and Mars. These events stimulate humanity’s interest in space exploration and the possible clue on the origin of life.

Exposure to space radiation, in particular Galactic cosmic rays, is a major concern for human health during long duration space travel. On the other hand, similar particles have been found to have beneficial effects on Earth, increasingly being used in cancer radiotherapy. In China alone, about 15 contracts for the construction of new particle therapy facilities were signed in the past years and more are being planned, and there is growing interest for facilities in the USA, too. Space radiation research has made significant progress since 2000 with the expansion of ground based accelerator facilities, the development of space radiation quality factors and detailed cancer risk uncertainty assessments, establishment of cognitive detriments as an important risk factor, and the first radiation measurements on the surface of Mars. The 9th International Symposium will be an opportunity to discuss critical research areas and solution methods for the next 20 years of heavy ion research. With this as a backdrop, we hope you to join us in Suzhou to share your recent findings and thoughts on improving the efficacy and safety of particle radiotherapy and advancing research in the assessment and mitigation of the risks from space radiation.

On behalf of the Organizing and Program Committees, we cordially invite you to join us in Suzhou for both formal and informal discussions on the state of research in space radiation and particle therapy. Please mark your calendar for this special event.

Sincerely,

Zhifang Chai, Francis Cucinotta, Tom K. Hei, Guenther Reitz, and Guangming Zhou
