This will now cover all exposure situations\, including emergencies and existing exposure situations resulting from natural radiation sources. \nSocietal issues in radiation protection \nIn many countries\, ionising radiation and radioactivity are perceived negatively by the population\, which at the same time sees no harm in their use for medical applications and is not aware of the exposure to natural radiation sources. The evolution of nuclear energy production is country-dependent\, and the perception of radioactive waste remains an issue. Topics open for debate: stakeholder involvement\, ethics\, perception and decision making\, communication and information\, transparency \nThe impact of medical applications of ionising radiation\, present situation and future trends \nMedical exposures to ionising radiation are increasing worldwide. One may wonder whether the justification and optimisation approaches are systematically implemented in daily practice. New issues such as patient doses from hybrid imaging systems\, eye lens doses received by medical staff etc. also merit discussion and debate. \nLessons learnt from incidents and accidents (medical and nuclear sectors) \nThe lessons learnt from Fukushima and from the Chernobyl contaminated areas\, more than 25 years after the accident\, are of significance to policy makers. Less known are accidents in the industry\, mainly in radiography\, and in medical therapy. What lessons can be learnt? How to avoid accidents? How to deal with contaminated areas? \nHow to raise interest of young people for radiation protection? \nIn many countries\, the interest of youngsters in scientific studies is limited\, and multidisciplinary sciences such as radiation protection have even more problems to attract people. How to make radiation protection attractive? What Education/Training is needed? \n \n \n \n \n \n Guided Visits\nA choice of 3 guided tours are proposed\, each one visiting a historical and cultural city of Belgium. The tours will be organised on Monday 8th April 2013 in the afternoon. Participants interested in one of these tours will have to arrange for their transport to the meeting point\, which will be announced later on\, and back.  \nThe registration form allows you to express your interest in one of these tours. The visits will only be organised if there is sufficient interest. Participants who have expressed their interest for any of the tours will be informed by email whether or not the tour of their interest will be organised. Participation will only be effective after confirmation. \n\nGuided walk through the old city centre of Ghent  \nGhent combines medieval views with architecture and art evolution over 8 centuries. Particularities are the Cathedral (the Mystic Lamb however is in restoration and replaced by a replica)\, the Belfry\, the town hall\, the castle and a riverside walk with numerous old houses of former professional corporations and restored market places.Ghent is an important artistic and academic centre with festivals and museums.Practical: Ghent can be easily reached from Brussels by train (approximately 30’). \n\nGuided tour of Brussels’  architectural heritage \nBrussels is a melting pot of many different architectural styles. Think of Art Deco\, Art Nouveau (Horta) and Modernism\, but also Gothic\, Baroque and Neo-classicism. Many examples of these styles will be discovered\, walking through the centre of Brussels. \n\nGuided tour of the historical city of Mons \nIn the heart of Europe\, at about 50 km from Brussels\, Mons is able to show a lot of priceless art treasures\, accumulated since thousand years.From the Castle Square you can have a look on the whole old town. From the Collegiale Sainte-Waudru (gothic style)\, through the ancient streets (Spanish House) and the gardens\, you arrive on the Grand-Place and go into the Town Hall from the fifteenth century.In the vicinity of Mons you find the house where Van Gogh lived as well the Neolithic flint-mine of Spiennes.Practical: Mons can be easily reached from Brussels by train (approximately 45’).
