Interested contributors have until 28 June 2024 to submit abstracts for the IAEA´s Third International Conference on Applications of Radiation Science and Technology (ICARST-2025), to be held from 7-11 April 2025 at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
Using ionizing radiation and radioactive materials has led to dramatic advances in radiation science and technology in industry, agriculture, and research applications. Radiation technologies can address vital human needs, such as enhancing industrial production and processes, managing scarce freshwater resources, improving human health and food safety, preserving cultural heritages, and protecting our environment.
Radiation technologists ensure the safe and reliable operation of facilities, by implementing global standards. As applications of electron beam accelerators and X-ray sources widen, new strategies are needed to ensure the safe and efficient use of new applications and technologies.
ICARST-2025 will provide a comprehensive review of significant developments in applications of radiation science and technology, as well as the state of the art in the field, assess national, regional, and global initiatives for implementing proven industrial applications of radiation science and technology, provide a composite platform where representatives from industry and academia can develop new initiatives and chart a clear-cut pathway for the adoption of radiation technologies to achieve specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Contributors interested in submitting papers for the conference should choose one of the themes and topics listed below:
- Advances in radiation chemistry, radiation science and technology.
- Radiation-modified advanced materials: from fundamentals to applications.
- Radiation and nuclear technology for imaging and preservation of cultural heritage.
- Radiation processing applications in medical sterilization, tissue banking, food and agriculture.
- Dosimetry, standards and quality management of irradiation facilities.
- New generation of radiation sources: gamma rays, electron beam and X-ray.
- Production and application of radionuclides and tracers for studying industrial and environmental processes and flow visualization.
- Nucleonic control and measurement systems and imaging technologies.
- Non-destructive Testing (NDT) applications for civil engineering, including artificial intelligence, neutron and muon radiography.
- Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and numerical Residence Time Distribution (RTD) modelling.
- Radiation sciences and technology in environmental monitoring, protection, remediation and post-natural disaster management.
- Education, training and certification in radiation science and technology.
- Radiation sciences and technologies success stories in line with the UN SDGs.
Guidelines and details for the submission of abstracts are available on the website. Those wishing to contribute should submit an abstract through the IAEA web-based submission system (IAEA-INDICO). The abstract can be submitted through the system from 19 January until 28 June 2024.
