23–27 May 2022
IAEA Headquarters
Europe/Vienna timezone
19 NOVEMBER 2021 IS THE NEW DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF SYNOPSIS AND FORMS A, B, C

Themes, Topics and Structure

The IAEA welcomes high-quality, well structured, abstracts and papers in all fields of accelerator-based research and applications which will be grouped under three main themes/tracks:

A. Cutting-edge scientific results and innovation in applications
B. Success stories and case studies demonstrating socioeconomic impact
C. Best practices in effective management, safe operation, and sustainability of accelerator facilities, including establishment of new facilities

The scope of the conference is meant to cover, but is not limited to, the following topical areas:

Biology and biophysics
Cultural heritage
Engineering applications (including energy sector)
Environmental applications (including geosciences and climate change)
Food and agriculture
Forensics and security applications
Information and quantum technologies
Materials research (including materials damage studies)
Medical applications (including radioisotope production and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy)
Nuclear data and modelling benchmarks
Radioactive beam applications
R&D on new accelerator and alternative technologies (including Compact Accelerator based Neutron Sources)
Best practices in and lessons learned from

  • Education and training with accelerators
  • Establishment of new facilities
  • Facility management and user programmes
  • Facility operations and maintenance
  • Outreach, knowledge preservation and management
  • User access programmes and regional/interregional networking
  • Strategic considerations for sustainability and self-reliance

The aforementioned topical areas will be discussed under the three main themes outlined. A series of plenary sessions will address the most interesting and crucial topics and the meeting programme will include invited keynote speakers from academia and industry, giving oral presentations and participating in panel discussions and round table sessions. Several poster sessions will be organized to allow ample time for discussion and interaction. In addition, the participants will have an opportunity to interact with conference exhibitors and participate in technical tour(s). Finally, a closing panel session will review the main conclusions drawn in the plenary sessions and will summarize recommendations for the future development of radiation sciences and technologies using particle accelerators.
