EU scientific seminar 2011 'Individual radiosensitivity'

Proceedings of a scientific seminar held in Luxembourg on 22 November 2011

Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung

The European Commission organises every year, in cooperation with the Group of Experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty, a Scientific Seminar on emerging issues in radiation protection – generally addressing new research findings with potential policy and/or regulatory implications. Leading scientists are invited to present the status of scientific knowledge in the selected topic. Based on the outcome of the Scientific Seminar, the Group of Experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty may recommend research, regulatory or legislative initiatives. The European Commission takes into account the conclusions of the experts when setting up its radiation protection programme. The experts' conclusions are valuable input to the process of reviewing and potentially revising European radiation protection legislation. In 2011, the Scientific Seminar discussed 'Individual radiosensitivity'. Internationally renowned scientists working in this field presented current knowledge on radiation sensitivity, genetic tools to address individual radiosensitivity and their limitations, genetic pathways for the prediction of radiation effects, potential of human genome sequencing, genetic signatures of radiation induced cancers, and ethical aspects of testing for individual radiosensitivity. The presentations were followed by a round table discussion, in which the speakers and invited additional experts discussed potential policy implications and research needs. The Group of Experts discussed this information and drew conclusions that are relevant for consideration by the European Commission and other international bodies.
