abstract = {{Between 2016 and 2020, 15 Fellows have carried out collaborative research within the 4 MEUR Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) EU-funded innovative training network. Based at universities, research and clinical facilities, as well as industry partners in several European countries, the Fellows have successfully developed a range of beam and patient imaging techniques, improved biological and physical models in Monte Carlo codes, and also help improve the design of existing and future clinical facilities. This paper gives an overview of the research outcomes of this network. It presents results from tracking and LET measurements with the MiniPIX-TimePIX detector for 60 MeV clinical protons, a new treatment planning approach accounting for prompt gamma range verification and interfractional anatomical changes, and summarizes findings from high-gradient testing of an S-band, normal-conducting low phase velocity accelerating structure. Finally, it gives a brief over-view of the scientific and training events organized by the OMA consortium.}},
