Radiation in the environment – scientific achievements and challenges for the society
16-17 April 2018
The symposium will bring together scientists working in the broad field of environmental radioactivity, in particular among the Consortium of Radiation Safety Research (Cores, see www.cores.fi ), as well as stakeholders and end-users of the research. The symposium will honor the long and esteemed career of Prof. Jukka Lehto in radiochemistry.
The topics for the symposium cover analytical radiochemistry and various aspects of environmental radiation and radioecological research, ranging from radioactive fallout and deposition of nuclear waste to naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and radon, modelling of transfer of radioactive substances in the environment as well as the effects of environmental radiation exposure on man and the biota.
Late registration (without presentation):
There is no registration fee but registrations are required by 28 March, 2018 via the link: Late registration
In case you have already registered on the first call, no additional registration for the symposium is needed.
In connection of the symposium, a Symposium Banquet and the 50th anniversary of Finnish Radiochemists society will be held on Monday 16th of April 6 p.m. in Unioninkadun juhlahuoneisto, Unioninkatu 33, Helsinki. Registration for the banquet is required by 28 March, 2018 via the link: Banquet registration
The fee for the Banquet is 40 eur and is paid via bank transfer on account FI75 1494 3500 0203 96 (Radiokemistit ry) by 28 March, 2018. Please add on the payment notification your name, institution and text “Banquet 2018”. For more information contact: merja.lusa@helsinki.fi
