Winter Schools
In order to respond to the need for training in the field of radiation dosimetry, EURADOS Winter Schools were included in our Annual Meetings for the first time in 2007. Typically Winter Schools are one-day events where invited speakers cover various aspects of a certain topic. Topics are selected based on suggestions from Voting Members or the Council. Winter Schools were held on several topics (see below).
In addition, you can find the recording of the Winter School 2021 on our YouTube channel.
