Dear colleagues from all over Europe and beyond The Nordic Society for Radiation Protection (NSFS) has the honour to host the regional European IRPA Congress in Helsinki on 14 – 18 June 2010. This is the third European IRPA congress. The two preceding congresses in 2002 and 2006 were held in Florence, Italy and in Paris, France. The Nordic society represents all five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and it also has members from the Baltic States. The Nordic radiation protection experts and authorities are very pleased to arrange a congress that covers all radiation protection topics and offers an opportunity for high-level and open discussion about the latest findings in radiation research and challenges in radiation safety and security. Helsinki and its long, bright mid-summer days open up an excellent setting for the congress. We are excited to welcome more than 800 participants in the congress. The congress slogan ”Radiation protection – science, safety and security” expresses the tight connection between these cornerstones in striving to achieve high level radiation protection. Our aim is to provide an overview of the international state of the art of the radiation protection system for ionising and non-ionising radiation and organise thematic sessions on the latest

We are pleased to present professionals from all over Europe and beyond that have provided their contributions to the programme. The International Organisations Forum will give an overview over the latest standards and developments regarding various aspects of radiation protection. Plenary sessions with keynote speakers will further highlight major advancements in science, safety and security. Several scientific and technical sessions deal with current topical issues in more detail. We are grateful for the contributing organisations IAEA, ICRP, ICNIRP, European Commission, WHO, ILO, OECD/NEA, ICRU, 5), Katri Pyynönen (p. 8 and backdrops on pp. 12 on pp. 8 and backdrops 5), Katri Pyynönen (p. – UNSCEAR, ICRM, EFOMP and Radiology Society of Finland for their contribution in the programme. Each session features keynote speakers and selected oral contributions of general interest. Poster sessions provide an opportunity for discussion and networking. Moreover, refresher courses given by recognised experts offer professional training in radiation protection. There are also several satellite events organised in connection with the IRPA congress. Associated Societies Forum will bring together the European societies to discuss current professional issues and themes on international collaboration. We wish to thank the Associated Societies in the European region for their active contribution to the congress programme. Each society nominated a member in the Scientific Programme Committee and many of the societies also supported attendance of young scientists at the Congress. The nominees for Young scientist award will give oral presentations in the topical sessions and the winner of the Award 2010 will be announced as part of the closing ceremonies. We are grateful for the sponsors NKS, TVO, Fortum, Mirion Technologies, Helsinki City and Ministry of Social Affairs and Health as well as all the Nordic Radiation Protection Authorities. Special thanks go to the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), without the support of which it would not have been possible to organize an event of this size. We wish to thank the technical exhibitors that came to Helsinki to show their latest technological innovations and instrumentation.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Helsinki.

A map of the poster halls and the location assignment is available on a notice board at the registration area. There are two separate poster areas which are located at the main lobby area Piazza, on the 2nd floor, and Piazza’s balcony, on the 3rd floor. The posters are grouped according to the themes of the oral sessions. Despite our initial intention, the poster images will not be available through the congress website; however, the abstracts related to the poster presentations are published in the abstract book.

View towards the poster area on Piazza and the balcony.

Helsinki by Sea and visit to Suomenlinna Fortress 15:00 The tour starts at 15:00 from the city pier (Linnanlaituri) by the Market Square (Kauppatori), opposite the President’s Castle on North Esplanade, Pohjoisesplanadi 1. From Finlandia Hall you can walk to the Market Square (2 km) or take tram nr 4 southward, get off at Ritarihuone stop and turn right at next corner. Please check the map on the back cover. We embark the archipelago cruiser m/s Emma (SUNLINES) for a two hour tour through the archipelago of Helsinki. An afternoon snack is served on board. The boat then brings us to Suomenlinna Fortress, an 18th century monument of military architecture, constructed on seven islands just off Helsinki. We go for a one hour guided walking tour, ending at 18:00, after which you can strive around on your own or in good company. You can also have dinner in one of the restaurants (e.g. restaurant Panimo, see below). Regular ferry traffic then takes you back to the market place. From there you can walk or take tram nr 4 from Aleksanterinkatu back to your hotel. Your Helsinki traffic card is valid on the ferry and the trams.

Get together for the young and young-minded 19:00 An informal get together has been arranged at the Suomenlinna Brewery Restaurant, Panimo, on Monday evening at 19:00. Some of you have registered for this event but not for the boat trip to Suomenlinna. If you want to take part, you have to go to Suomenlinna on your own. The ferry leaves from the market square every 20 minutes, and the trip takes 15 min. The restaurant is adjacent to the main quay, where the ferry arrives. Reservation has been made at the restaurant for some ex tempore attendants, and you pay on site for what you consume.

Tuesday, June 15

Concert and welcome reception in Finlandia Hall 18:30 – 21:00 We enjoy an inspiring hour, with Finnish performing arts, a relaxing introduction to classical music, modern dance and innovative jazz. Featuring artists are Minna Pensola, violin, Anna Laakso, piano, Nina Hyvärinen, dance, and Jukka Perko Jazz Quartet. The concert has been sponsored by Mirion Technologies. After the concert a buffet is served on the Piazza.

Reception by City of Helsinki 18:30–20:00 City of Helsinki has invited the congress delegates to an evening reception at the Town Hall on Wednesday, June 15, at 18:30. The Town Hall lies on Pohjoisesplanadi 11 – 13, next to the Market Square. The trip takes 15 minutes by tram from Finlandia Hall. Take tram nr 4 or 7B southward, get off at Senaatintori (Senate Square), turn right at next or second next corner and then left to Pohjoisesplanadi. For those attending the workshops on Wednesday afternoon the time schedule is very tight, so for these people there are busses leaving from the parking area behind Finlandia Hall immediately after the programme. Taxi from Finlandia Hall costs about 10 €.

Thursday, June 17

Congress dinner 20:00 The congress dinner is held at Hotel Hilton Kalastajatorppa on Thursday, June 17 at 20:00. You can go to Kalastajatorppa by tram nr 4 northward to Munkkiniemi and get off at the last stop, Saunalahdentie, from which there is 300 m to walk. There will be signs to guide you. The trip takes about 25 minutes. Mainly for senior participants there are also a few busses, leaving at 19:30 from Hotel Scandic Continental, Crown Plaza, Helka (close to Domus Academica), Presidentti and Scandic Simonkenttä. Access to the busses is not restricted to guests of these hotels. Taxi from Finlandia Hall costs about 15 €.

Kalastajatorppa is situated on the sea shore in a green parkland. Welcome cocktail will be served in the lovely seaside garden. After enjoying a Nordic dinner you can admire the late sunset on a distant horizon while walking in the park.

After the dinner, tram nr 4 takes you back downtown. The last tram leaves at 2:00 a.m. Do not forget your traffic card for the tram! There are no busses chartered for the return.
