CALL for Short visits to European Countries
EURO-TELEPATH “Telepathology Network in Europe”

The EURO-TELEPATH “Telepathology Network in Europe” is an initiative of the COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) agency, supported by the European Commission Research Framework Programme (FP7).

The EURO-TELEPATH (COST Action IC0604) coordinates of research efforts to develop the most adequate technological framework applied to Anatomic Pathology for the management of multimedia electronic healthcare records (data and images) through the Internet.

The EURO-TELEPATH is supporting the exchange of young researchers to establish new areas of scientific collaboration or complementing multidisciplinary publications and research thesis on running prototypes in visited hospitals, laboratories and institutions. The topic must be related to digital pathology telepathology, medical informatics, image analysis, business process modelling, or technology evaluation.

Researchers in IT or medical field (including residents pre- or postdoctoral researches), that would like to visit some institution of the participating European countries, can be financially supported by EURO-TELEPATH (COST Action IC0604), applying to a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM).

The duration of Short-Term Scientific Missions, is minimum one week (5 working days), maximum 3 months. The grant will cover travel and subsistence.

Participating countries in EURO-TELEPATH are:
• Croatia
• Cyprus
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Italy
• Lithuania
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Poland
• Portugal
• Serbia
• Spain
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom

Participating non-COST countries:

• WiPro tech, India

• IPAL, Singapore

• Georgian Telemedicine Union (Association)
  
  The Applicant must first contact COST Action IC0604 Chair (see contact data below).

The application together with the COST Action Management Committee approval should be ready at least 4 weeks before the mission starts.

COST Action IC0604 summary:

Coordination of research efforts to develop the most adequate technological framework for the management of multimedia electronic healthcare records (data and images) through the Internet. The Action will consolidate the most renowned research references in the field of informatics applied to Anatomic Pathology in order to eventually develop, with support of national and other European programs, the fusion standards to represent, interpret, browse and retrieve digital medical images while preserving their diagnostic quality as needed for clinical, learning and research purposes. In a latter stage, this coordinated research shall bring about a comprehensive R&D project which will deliver a much needed world wide search engine based on WebServices. This will definitively open the path to integration, search, access, exchange and upgrade of digital pathological images and associated reports among different hospital information systems regardless of their location. Based on common standards developed by European Normalization Committee (CEN), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and other bodies (DICOM, HL7, SNOMED), the direct result of this Action shall be a new Pathology Technical Framework (IHE Pathology) to be taken as a new reference standard by the specialized E-health industry as well as the entire medical community.

Keywords: Image Communication, Electronic health record, Pathology PACS, JPEG 2000 protocol, IHE initiative.
