The overall objective of the Union is to promote radioecology worldwide, in all its dimensions, from research activities to expert advice and operational management. An overarching role of the Union is to perpetuate a “think tank” capacity on radioecology issues through the maintenance of an efficient network of scientists and professionals.
THE UNION'S RECENT ACTIONS
EVENTS
The IUR organizes, co-organizes, and sponsors events to promote radioecology, bring together the radioecology community and facilitate exchanges and research. IUR workshops have impactful outcomes for understanding radiological risk and managing and advancing radiological protection.
