Publication metadata
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 2013, the EU Scientific Seminar covered the issue Radiation induced long-term health effects after medical exposure. Internationally renowned scientists working in this field presented current knowledge on Dosimetry in radio-diagnostic procedures – risk issues and research needs; Second primary cancers in adults after radiotherapy – an epidemiological review; Cardiovascular diseases after radiotherapy; Late effects in children after radiotherapy; CT scan studies – present results and the future; and on Risk communication. The presentations were followed by a round table discussion, in which the speakers and additional invited experts discussed potential policy implications and research needs.
