IRPA 17 Scientific Programme Outline

Radiological Protection is organised around four fundamental pillars for its safe use. Each one has international reference organizations, with IRPA being recognised as “the International voice of the radiation protection profession in the enhancement of radiation protection culture and practice worldwide”.

These four pillars, along with the interaction with society, which is central to all, will comprise the main themes of the Scientific Programme of the Congress. This structure supports the coordination and presentation of the latest advances across the main areas of radiological protection.
