The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN) and the Belgian Federal Agency for Nuclear Control are jointly organising the third international conference on Education and Training in Radiological Protection (ETRAP2005), with ENS acting as conference secretariat. An expected 120 radiation protection education professionals will gather at the historic Metropole Hotel in Brussels to discuss the latest developments in their field.
ETRAP2005 aims to reinforce the networking between organisations and individuals involved in education and training in radiological protection, providing a much needed platform for a comprehensive and transdisciplinary approach at both national and international level. Leading international organisations support the conference and have accepted to be part of the scientific programme: the European Commission, IAEA, IRPA and NEA/OECD. In addition, there has been an enthusiastic response to the Call for Papers.
The programme, to be confirmed in the beginning of June, will include presentations on the following topics:
Certification and accreditation, recognition and harmonisation of requirements;
Education and training needs in the industrial and medical sector;
Expertise and knowledge management and on-the-job training;
Course materials, demo-installations and e-learning;
Quality assurance, safety culture and transdisciplinarity.
Educational material on radiological protection (courses, books, software applications, …) will be displayed in the poster and coffee break room during the conference.
