IUR Post‑Conference Workshop
on Environmental Radioactivity in the Asia-Pacific Environment
On the occasion of the 17th biennial conference of the South Pacific Association for Environmental Radioactivity (SPERA), the International Union of Radioecology (IUR) and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have organized a regional Workshop, open to participants from all states in the Asia-Pacific region with an interest in environmental radioactivity and radioecology. Participants can be from managerial or technical roles.
Purpose: The purpose of the regional forum is to provide an opportunity for international and regional stakeholders to meet, identify key programs of work in the field of environmental radioactivity and radioecology that are already underway or planned, identify corresponding areas for collaborations and identify key research priorities, avoiding gaps and duplications.
Output(s): The sharing of knowledge and experiences will promote efficient use of existing infrastructures, support harmonised and coherent regulatory developments, and the development of well-informed, balanced, and adapted consensus, whilst meeting the specificities of problem-oriented or regional objectives.
