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 –27) and Eero Venhola (p. 28), Finnish Tourist Board’s Image Bank (p. 12 top), TVO (p. 12 below), Hotel Hilton Kalastajatorppa (p. 25 top and p. 41 right) and p. 25 top (p.

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.

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.

  • ALVAR AALTO & Finlandia HALL
    ALVAR AALTO & FinLAnDiA HALL ALVAR AALTO & FinlanDiA hall To be able to understand the architecture of Finlandia Hall, one must be familiar with the larger vision of Helsinki of which Finlandia Hall is only a part, a vision that may never fully materialize. At the beginning of the 19th century, Helsinki was granted the position of capital of the newly established Grand Duchy of Fin- land, and the architect Carl Ludvig Engel designed the monumen- tal central square, known today as the Senate Square, which is flanked by the Cathedral, Senate Palace and the University. Alvar Aalto was of the opinion that independent Finland should con- Alvar Aalto in the 1930’s, Photo: Heinonen, struct a central square of its own in the new centre of the city, Alvar Aalto -museum which is in the vicinity of the Parliament House, the building that symbolizes the status won in 1917. lt was a lucky coincidence that right in front of the Parliament there lay a large railway freight yard which was to be re-sited elsewhere; Aalto thought that this area would provide a unique opportunity for the realization of an idea, originally suggested by Eliel Saarinen in 1917, for the con- struction of a new traffic route called Freedom Avenue (Vapau- denkatu) from the northern suburbs right to the heart of the city. Aalto envisaged a large, fan-shaped square terraced on three levels the topmost point of which would be where the equestrian statue of Mannerheim now stands. The square would open towards Töölönlahti Bay, and on one side it would be flanked by a concert and congress hall and further on by an opera house, an art mu- seum, the city library and, possibly, other public buildings, which would be erected in the midst of the greenery of Hesperia Park.

  • Press Release 29.8.2018
    Press release, 29 August 2018 Facilities for new services at Finlandia Hall to be built during renovation Plans are in place for an audio-visual exhibition, design store, and a drink bar on the roof The renovation project of Finlandia Hall will begin in 2021 according to the preliminary schedule. The project means not only restoration of existing premises but also construction of a framework for new services. Plans for the renewed Finlandia Hall include, for instance, an audio-visual exhibition and a design store. The kitchen will be modernized so the restaurant can be of service during large events and conferences in the future. Restaurant operations will be developed so that people from far away arrive at Finlandia Hall for dinner. A drink bar on the rooftop terrace is planned as a main attraction. For the area around Töölönlahti Bay, there are plans for glamping-type activity that connects Finlandia Hall more closely to the surrounding park area. Finlandia Hall is the largest and best-known event and conference centre in Finland. The building’s turnover has doubled in six years, and Finlandia Hall Ltd’s operation is profitable. – Finlandia Hall is very important for Helsinki both as an architectural landmark and as a living conference centre, which enables the arrangement of diverse events in the capital city of Finland. This is why special care must be taken of the building. Every year Finlandia Hall welcomes more than 200,000 visitors. According to one study, they spend almost €50 million per year on various experiences, shopping and services in Helsinki, says Anni Sinnemäki, the Deputy Mayor for Urban Environment.
