In the framework of the RICOMET conference, the Belgian Society for Radiation Protection organises a workshop on the topic 'Beyond scientific disciplinary boundaries'. In parallel, a similar workshop is organised in Hungary.

Can we enrich radiation protection research and practice with transdisciplinary approaches and how?

The aim of this interactive session is to explore the meaning of transdisciplinarity and its role in shaping the future of radiation protection projects. This session entails live webinars with prominent academics from different disciplines, a range of case studies from the field of radiation protection and face to face workshops organised in Belgium by the Belgian Radiation Protection Society and by the RadoNorm project in Hungary.

The exact location of the physical workshop is

CYCL 03+06 UCLouvain
