From Nuclear Risks to the Fight against Cancer – The Key Role of Radiation Protection for a Secure and Healthy Europe
This event is open to Members and Non-Members
Event Details
While radiation always poses a risk to human health and the environment, radiation research has led to a rapid technical and medical progress and prosperity. As a society, we are frequently faced with questions of risk evaluation. Which risks are we willing to take and to what extent? These same questions need to be applied towards artificial and natural radiation. Better risk assessment and management is essential for protecting people’s health – whether in everyday life, at the workplace, in medicine and cosmetics, and certainly in a nuclear emergency. Join the European radiation protection community at our event that will highlight the significance of radiation protection for European member states, EU markets and society and address the necessity for political backing to enhance European and national efforts in radiation protection research, policies, and sustainable practices. It will serve as a forum to facilitate dialogue among European policymakers, representatives from member states and experts.
