The Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) is the regulatory body, responsible for matters related to radiological protection. Among its responsibilities is the provision of education and training on radiation protection to the occupationally exposed radiation workers, covering the medical and industrial sectors, as well as, to the first responders in case of emergency. GAEC is also responsible for certification and recognition of diplomas in the different areas of radiation protection. Within this frame, GAEC also organizes seminars and workshops as well as, post-graduate education and training courses on Radiation Protection, at national and regional levels. The purpose of this paper is first to describe GAEC’s educational and training activities in the above fields and in particular, its participation to the Inter-University Post-Graduate Course on Medical Radiation Physics, which runs under the administration of Athens University in co-operation with other four Greek Universities and the NCSR “Democritos”. Second, to describe the Eastern Europe’s Regional Post graduate Educational Course (PGEC) on “Radiation Protection and the Safety of Radiation Sources”, which is hosted in Athens and is supported by an IAEA’s TC Programme. The PGEC is offered in the English language based on the IAEA’s Standard Curriculum for PGECs.
