Workshop on the future ofRadiological Protection
Auditorium, IRSN, Fontenay-aux-Roses
Tuesday 19 March 2024

With the publication of the paper “Keeping the ICRP recommendations fit for purpose”
in 2021, the International Commission on Radiological Protection has embarked on areview and revision of the system of Radiological Protection that will update the 2007
general recommendations in ICRP Publication 103. In this perspective, an open andtransparent involvement process of organisations, individuals, and of all interested
parties has been set up.
While it is recognized that the system is robust and has performed well, it must adapt
to address changes in science and society to remain fit for purpose. Currently, several
issues are under-investigation by a series of ICRP Task Groups to integrate the recent
scientific and societal developments. In this process, special attention is dedicated toidentifying the possible improvement of the radiological protection of people and theenvironment together with addressing the issues for its implementation.
At the occasion of the venue of the members of the ICRP Main Commission in France,
a one-day workshop on the future of radiological protection will be organised on the19th of March 2024, at IRSN in Fontenay-aux-Roses from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Thisworkshop is organised by IRSN, CEPN and ICRP. It will provide an opportunity topresent recent developments at ICRP and to exchange views and experience withrepresentatives of the French radiological protection community.
The workshop will be in English. Participation is free, but registration is required (theregistration form will be sent out separately). Online participation will also be possible(the connection link will be sent one day before the meeting to registered people).
