The main aim of the International Congress Support Committee (ICSC), composed of members from national and international organizations, is to help radiation protection professionals, especially young ones, from developing countries, to attend the IRPA 12 Congress. Creating opportunities to get professionals attend this event is crucial due to the rapid and significant development in radiation protection and the continuous increase in number and complexity of nuclear and radiation technologies worldwide. Participation of these professionals, will not only allow them to benefit from a renewed scientific programme and refresher training in radiation protection, but more important is their contribution to the debate on how to face the new related challenges and implement the new developments. These will include, inter alia, the implementation of the new ICRP recommendation and also to provide feedback for the revision of the International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (the BSS).

To apply for grants from these international organizations, please follow the steps below:
