European Platform on preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergency response and recovery
The mission of the NERIS Platform is to establish a forum for dialogue and methodological development between all European organisations and associations taking part in decision making of protective actions in nuclear and radiological emergencies and recovery in Europe.
The 11th NERIS Workshop will take place at The Cumberland in London, as a satellite meeting of European Radiation Protection Week 2025, on 29th September for the full day.
On the morning, this Workshop will be dedicated to PIANOFORTE projects related to NERIS:
In the afternoon, the Workshop will cover Emergency Preparedness Response & Recovery (EPRR) topics from the NERIS community and international organizations.

For the 2nd part of the Workshop, abstracts are welcomed on the following topics:
Ongoing R&D related to the current NERIS Roadmap and beyond
Radiological impact assessment
Countermeasures and countermeasure strategies, decision support and disaster informatics
Trans-disciplinary and inclusive framework for EPRR
Recent and new development related to EPRR
Resilience: EPRR in armed conflicts, etc.
New nuclear technologies: EPRR for SMRs/AMRs, etc.
Sustainability: EPRR relation with UN Sustainable Development Goals, etc.
Other abstracts related to EPRR are also welcomed. Please send your abstracts before 4th July by answering the filling in the following form, also available on the NERIS website: abstract submission.

Call for abstracts (ERPW)
As a reminder, two main topics in ERPW Call for abstracts are directly related to EPRR:
EPRR for nuclear detonation,
EPRR frameworks, governance and stakeholder involvement.
NERIS is directly involved in reviewing abstracts related to these topics, and other that may be connected to EPRR. If we consider moving your presentation to the NERIS Workshop for practical reasons, we will keep you informed to discuss the best way to proceed.
The deadline for sending an abstract is on 13th June at the latest. Guidelines on abstract submission are provided on ERPW 2025 website.

As you may already know, the MEENAS umbrella (MELODI, EURADOS, EURAMED, NERIS, ALLIANCE and SHARE) will have its 3rd and final webinar to showcase and promote the SRAs of the platforms in 2024, concerning “Strategic Research Plans for Research in Radiation Dosimetryand Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Response and Recovery”.
This webinar will take place online on October17thfrom 16:00–18:00 CEST.
It will cover the strategic research plans for radiation dosimetry research outlined in the EURADOS SRA and the roadmap for emergency response and recovery research represented in the NERIS SRA. The SRAs as well as interlinks between them and connections to other areas and organisations will be presented and discussed during the webinar.
The webinar is free of charge, but registration is required through the following Zoom link :
