Editor: Ugo Amaldi

In 2016 the South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was proposed by Herwig Schopper and brought to the political level by Sanja Damjanovic, Minister of Science of Montenegro. In this framework two design studies have been completed by two groups of European experts: a "4th Generation Synchrotron Light Source for Science and Technology" (SRL) and a "Facility for Tumour Hadron Therapy and Biomedical Research" (HTR). A preliminary report was presented and discussed at the Workshop on "New International Research Facilities for South East Europe" held in January 2017 at ICTP (Trieste). In March 2018 the Steering Committee came unanimously to the conclusion that the first facility to be built should be the HTR. This report contains the HTR study, which was completed in July 2018; the Executive Summary has been written for the readers who are not interested in the details.
