University Day

Introduction

The 14th International Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA14) will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, South Africa between the 9th and13th of May 2016. As part of the programme the organising committee has arranged a side event specifically aimed at students. This University Day will be hosted by the Physics Department of the University of Cape Town.

Objective of the University Day

To provide students from tertiary institutions, with an updated understanding of radiation protection, through presentations by renowned world experts in the field. At the end of the course, students will have an overview of the philosophy of radiation protection and the principles that guide decision making in radiation protection. The application of radiation protection in various industries will be discussed with a special session on the impact of Fukushima on emergency planning.

This is a once in a life time opportunity to attend lectures given by world-renowned experts and to interact with them. Students will also learn about career opportunities in this unique and interesting field.
