Interested contributors have until 1 May 2025 to submit abstracts for the IAEA's International Conference on Emergency Preparedness and Response.
The conference will be held from 1 December to 4 December 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and is hosted by Saudi Arabia's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC). It will provide an international forum where participants can share their experiences and discuss challenges, innovations and the enabling conditions required to strengthen nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response (EPR). Participants will include experts from regulatory bodies, emergency response organizations, nuclear operators, technical support organizations, international organizations and more.
Sharing Best Practices in Emergency Preparedness
"This conference provides a unique platform to bring together stakeholders from across the EPR community to discuss best practices, future trends and new technologies to enhance emergency preparedness," said Carlos Torres Vidal, Director of the IAEA Incident and Emergency Centre, which is organizing the event. "By fostering international cooperation and sharing insights, we aim to help countries bolster their emergency response capabilities in a rapidly changing world."
"Saudi Arabia is privileged to host this significant conference, organized by the IAEA, as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness nationally, regionally, and globally. Over the years, we have worked closely with the IAEA to advance capabilities and foster international cooperation in this vital field," said Khalid Aleissa, Chief Executive Officer of the NRRC.
