EB&T will be attending the International Conference on Radioecology and Environmental Radioactivity 2008. The congress will cover the acquisition of basic scientific knowledge as well as identifying new societal needs and requirements to fulfil. This will include predicting the consequences of all types of releases of radioactivity; industrial, (enhanced) natural, accidental and potential. Helping to design appropriate emergency preparedness routines will be another focus area, as well as supporting the development of laws and regulations that protect man and ecosystems from the effects of radioactivity.

What?

The course will be about principles, validation, application, and pitfalls of in vitro and in vivo
bioassays and bio-indication at the individual (biomarkers) and ecosystem level.
