The International Conference on Radioecology and Environmental Radioactivity 2008 (taken place in Bergen, 15 - 19 June 2008) has covered the acquisition of basic scientific knowledge as well as identifying new societal needs and requirements to fulfil.
This included predicting the consequences of all types of releases of radioactivity; industrial, (enhanced) natural, accidental and potential. Helping to design appropriate emergency preparedness routines was another focus area, as well as supporting the development of laws and regulations that protect man and ecosystems from the effects of radioactivity.
The 2008 conference was a key forum for both researchers and experts for whom radioactivity in the environment is an interest area.

The first Conference in Bergen is announcing the launch of a new series of international conferences in Radioecology
The "Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire" (IRSN) and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA), in collaboration with IUR, are now joining their efforts to promote a new international conference series entitled "Radioecology and Environmental Radioactivity".
The Conferences will build upon "ECORAD" and the "International Conference on Radioactivity in the Environment".
The conferences will be organised every 3rd year, to review and discuss recent achievements in radioecology and related disciplines, and to promote continued development in these arenas.
Later conferences in the series are planned to be hosted by different countries.
