ASNR hosted the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences for a seminar on radiation protection

From 9 to 11 December 2025, the first joint research seminar between ASNR and KIRAMS (Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences) was held in Fontenay-aux-Roses (92).

The seminar offered a valuable opportunity for technical exchanges between the two organizations on key topics, including radiation emergency medicine and public health, physical and biological dosimetry, epidemiology, radiological accidents, and therapeutic technologies for radiation injuries.

Several areas of mutual interest were identified, opening up promising prospects for future cooperation between ASNR and KIRAMS, with potential forms of collaboration such as data sharing, expert technical meetings, and staff secondments.

The technical sessions were complemented by visits to ASNR facilities, including the physical and biological dosimetry laboratories, the PATERSON facility (mass spectrometry analytical platform), and the ASNR emergency center.

A follow-up videoconference is planned in 2026 to continue discussions, along with a follow-up seminar provisionally envisaged to be held in Korea in 2027.
