About the conference
Since 1999 the ETRAP conferences intend to bring together training providers, academics, policy makers, radiation protection professionals, regulators and authorities, and end-users of education and training in radiation protection.
It offers the opportunity for learning, discussing and networking about the latest findings and developments in education and training in radiation protection, and facilitates networking amongst the different stakeholders.
This conference is organized by the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN, the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (EEAE) and the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) in cooperation with EUTERP and IRPA, and with support of HERCA.
