    This is an online event

    Radioactivity is everywhere, but we cannot perceive it with our senses. So how can we measure radioactivity? How can we protect ourselves from the harmful effects of radioactivity? What are the challenges of today and tomorrow?

    These are some of the challenges where radiation protection comes in. The Belgian Society for Radiation Protection (BVS-ABR) is the scientific organisation dedicated to that field.  It has been doing so for 60 years! To celebrate this anniversary, the BVS-ABR is organising a competition in which 5th and 6th year secondary school pupils can participate.

    During the competition, pupils will work out a scientific project that will be assessed by a professional jury. This way, they are introduced to the different disciplines related to radiation protection, such as physics, biology, mathematics, geology, social sciences, ... In addition, the competition stimulates team skills, creativity and critical scientific thinking of students.

    More info about the science contest. (available in NL, EN and FR language), including video recordings of the NL and FR event.
