Existing competence and infrastructure in radiation protection training at postgraduate level within the EU and new entrant states.

TL;DRAbstract

A recent survey has revealed that the provision of taught postgraduate training programmes at Master
\nof Science level, specifically designed to meet stakeholders’ needs in the cognate fields of Radiation
\nProtection, Applied Radiochemistry and Radioecology is, with several notable exceptions, insufficient
\nin most Member States of the EU. Presently, it would appear that fewer than half the Member States
\noffer dedicated training in Radiation Protection at Master’s level, while only six so offer in
\nRadiochemistry, and at best three in Radioecology. However, more positively, the survey findings
\nsuggest considerable support for co-ordinated EU-wide Masters’ training programmes in Radiation
\nProtection and allied fields, and a willingness to participate in and/or host such programmes.
