1. 9 th Workshop on European Collaboration for Higher Education and Research in Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Protection Salamanca, Spain 5-7 June 2013 Interest of the IRRMA International Conference for students and researchers from CHERNE institutions José Ródenas Departamento de Ingeniería Química y Nuclear Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain)

2. CHERNE-9  The International Topical Meeting on I ndustrial R adiation and R adioisotope M easurement A pplications is a triennial event organized with the purpose of bringing together scientists and engineers from around the world who share an interest in topics related to radiation, radioisotopes and its industrial applications.  The IRRMA-9 meeting will be held in Valencia (Spain) from 7 to 11 July 2014 and it is devoted to current trends and potential future issues involving radiation and radioisotopes. IRRMA

3. CHERNE-9  IRRMA-5 Bologna (Italy) 2002  IRRMA-6 Hamilton (Canada) 2005  IRRMA-7 Prague (Czech Republic) 2008  IRRMA-8 Kansas City (USA) 2011  Organizers of the two last editions are CHERNE partners and the participation of members of CHERNE institutions was abundant. IRRMA past editions

4. CHERNE-9 Scientific sessions will include:  Invited lectures by leading experts in their fields,  Contributed oral papers and  Poster presentations of contributed papers. Attendees will have a great opportunity to share ideas  on industrial uses of radiation and radioisotopes,  on research and applications  not only in industrial fields, but also in Medicine, Biomedical Applications of Radiation, Art and Cultural Heritage, etc. Contents of the meeting

5. CHERNE-9 l Industrial applications l Radiation Technologies l Ionizing Radiation Sources l Radiation Measurement l Radiation Detection l Radiation Effects on Materials l Biomedical Applications of Radiation l Applications to Art and Cultural Heritage l Monte Carlo Methods and Models Topics (1)

6. CHERNE-9 l Detection of Explosives and Contraband l Quantitative Analysis Applications l Radiotracing l Radiation in Environmental Sciences l Shielding and Dosimetry l X- and γ-ray Techniques l Material Testing l New trends in Radiation Sources and Detector Development l and other topics Topics (2)

7. CHERNE-9 l The interest of IRRMA for CHERNE students lies in the possibility of presenting their work on any of these topics. [like other international conferences, indeed] l Not only for students, but also for researchers l The work to be presented at IRRMA can come from a Master (or PhD) Thesis developed in the framework of some collaboration between CHERNE institutions. Interest

8. CHERNE-9 Which is the goal of this presentation? l To encourage CHERNE partners to propose different works to their students (and researchers) l On any topic related to radiation and measurements l To be developed during next year [You have a whole year to perform the work] l Better in collaboration with other CHERNE partners l Taking the opportunity to present results at the IRRMA Conference in Valencia. Objective
