International Conference on Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies: Building the Future in an Evolving World

Purpose and Objectives

The emergency preparedness and response (EPR) framework for nuclear and radiological emergencies is adaptable to an evolving world. Envisioning the future of EPR includes anticipating emerging threats and hazards and embracing new technologies to enhance our response capabilities. This international conference will discuss how Member States and international organizations consider these factors to maximize their EPR effectiveness, sustainability and resilience.

The purpose of the event is to foster an exchange of information and enhance global awareness of crucial emergency preparedness and response topics. This will be achieved by discussing advancements at national and international levels; addressing challenges and opportunities; sharing experiences; and evaluating current and future trends, innovative technologies and approaches and lessons from real-life events. The conference will also identify priorities for improving preparedness and response to nuclear and radiological emergencies to ensure readiness in a rapidly evolving world.

Target Audience

The conference is aimed at senior level officials and technical experts in EPR. Contributions are invited from: regulatory bodies, response organizations (such as medical services, law enforcement and civil protection), operating organizations, technical support organizations, and others involved in EPR for nuclear and radiological incidents and emergencies. Participation from early career professionals, researchers, civil society organizations, and members of academic institutions is encouraged.

Exhibitions

A limited amount of space will be available for commercial vendors’ displays/exhibits during the conference. Interested parties should contact the Scientific Secretariat by email by 2 May 2025.
