    Winning Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Sklodowska-Curie paved the way for nuclear physics, chemistry as well as radiobiology and cancer therapy. To coincide with the 150th anniversary of Marie Sklodowska-Curie’s birth, SCK•CEN will explore the life, work and extraordinary legacy of one of science’s greatest pioneers. The day will also be devoted to 120 years of worldwide radiobiology research and pioneering radiobiological research in Belgium and at SCK•CEN. In particular, 7thof November will also be proposed as a National Day of Radiobiology. An exhibition entitled “Radiations: scenes of Marie Curie’s scientific life” will give the opportunity to learn more about Marie Curie’s life achievements.

    In collaboration with the Musée Curie in Paris and the Belgian Museum of Radiology, an exhibition entitled “Radiations: scenes of Marie Curie’s scientific life” is proposed during that day showing material and instruments from that period as well as pictures of Marie Curie’s life. 

    A possibility is offered to participants to visit SCK•CEN radiobiology labs (via separate registration: on a first registered, first served basis).

    Further information and registration is available via the website of SCK•CEN.
