THEMES AND TOPICS
The scope of the conference is aimed to cover, but is not limited to, the following topical areas:
• Advances in radiation chemistry, radiation science and technology;
• Radiation modified advanced materials: from fundamentals to applications;
• Radiation and nuclear technology for imaging and preservation of cultural heritage;
• Radiation processing applications in medical sterilization, tissue banking, food and agriculture;
• Dosimetry, standards and quality management of irradiation facilities;
• New generation of radiation sources: gamma rays, electron beam and X-ray;
• Production and application of radionuclides and tracers for studying industrial and environmental processes and flow visualisation;
• Nucleonic control and measurement systems and imaging technologies;
• NDT applications for civil engineering, including artificial intelligence, neutron and muon radiography;
• Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and numerical Residence Time Distribution (RTD) modelling;
• Radiation sciences and technology in environmental monitoring, protection, remediation and post natural disaster management;
• Education, training and certification in radiation science and technology; and
• Radiation sciences & technology success stories in line with the UN SDGs (https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html).
Abstracts concerning medical applications of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals are considered out-of-scope for the ICARST-2025. However, as a complimentary to the ICARST series, the IAEA will host the ISTR-2027 Conference specifically covering medical applications of radiation science and technology. Submissions of abstracts focused on these topics related to ISTR-2027 are highly encouraged.
