Register for The Chernobyl Accident: Radiation and Health Effects
The webinar is the first of the newly launched ISoRED webinar series on Community Building in Radiation Epidemiology and Dosimetry Research. The series aims to support the society’s mission to bring together radiation researchers from around the world to discuss studies of ionizing radiation effects in humans, epidemiologic methodology, and dosimetry; support capacity building and training for the next generation of epidemiologists, statisticians and dosimetrists; and promote and facilitate international collaborations.
Webinars are expected to take place monthly and will each feature an organization that performs research in radiation epidemiology and dosimetry. If you are interested in presenting in this webinar series, please email Rania Kosti.
