An Interdisciplinary Meeting on Ionising Radiation Quality, Molecular Mechanisms, Cellular Effects, and Their Consequences for Low Level Risk Assessment and Radiation Therapy
Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the Symposium is intended to provide an exciting forum for scientists of different disciplines to exchange and discuss recent data and findings on relevant basic physical and biological mechanisms of radiation action and their consequences for risk assessment on Earth and in Space and for radiation therapy, including proton and carbon ion therapy.
Presentations and intensive interdisciplinary discussions of progress in radiation physics, radiation chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, modelling and radiation carcinogenesis and epidemiology are expected.
The Symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss the current status of topical low-dose non-linear phenomena, such as non-targeted and delayed effects, including radiation-induced bystander effects, genomic instability, adaptive response and hyper-radiosensitivity.
Emphasis will be laid on the recent technical developments in radiation detection, in particular in micro- and nano-dosimeters, as well as on novel irradiation techniques, in particular on the current state of the art of microbeam technology for single cell irradiation and of its biological applications.
Importance will also be given to reviewing the progress made in modelling the multi-step process of radiation induced cancer and its application to epidemiological data, in particular for the better quantification of low dose and low dose rate risk.
In order to maximize interdisciplinary communication and discussion the Symposium will be structured as Invited, Oral and Posters presentations. Refresher courses by invited experts are also foreseen.
To encourage the attendance of young scientists as well as researchers from less-favoured-Countries, specific awards are foreseen.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
