7th European IRPA Congress
Encouraging Collaboration in Radiation Protection
Back in June 2022 at the 6th International Radiation Protection Association( IRPA) European Congress held in Budapest, Hungary, a proposal by SRP to hold the next Congress in Liverpool in 2026 was agreed by IRPA. And so our journey began – to organise and host what will be the first international radiation protection congress in the UK since the IRPA World Congress of 2012 in Glasgow.
As this issue of Radiation Protection Today goes to press we have put together an Organising Committee, held a number of meetings to develop the overall structure of the Congress and assembled a Programme Committee to focus on organisation of the scientific programme.
Recently the Organising Committee visited the venue for the Congress – the Arena and Convention Centre( ACC)- which is on the bank of the River Mersey next to the Royal Albert Dock, Museum of Liverpool and the Pierhead. It is a wonderful venue, with plenty of adjacent hotel space in varying price brackets.
Ultimately, the Congress ' s success will depend solely on the participation and contributions of those attending and engaging with it. We strongly encourage all those in the radiation protection profession to visit the website and keep an eye out for announcements over the next year regarding abstract submissions and registration.
