ICARST-2025 will feature plenary presentations, panel discussions and poster sessions covering a wide range of topics, including:
- advances in radiation chemistry, science, and technology
- radiation-modified materials for industrial applications
- non-destructive testing applications, including ai-driven neutron and muon radiography
- dosimetry, standards, and quality management of irradiation facilities
- environmental applications, such as radiation sciences for remediation and post-disaster management
- emerging radiation sources, including next-generation gamma rays, electron beams, and x ray technologies
Moreover, experts will present innovations in radiotracers, sealed sources and nucleonic control systems used for industrial process control and optimization.
Beyond technical discussions, ICARST-2025 will also explore education, training and certification in radiation science and technology, ensuring that the next generation of experts is well-equipped to drive innovation in the field. Several side events and networking opportunities will further support knowledge sharing and collaboration.
The conference proceedings, including recorded sessions and key takeaways, will be made available to participants and the broader scientific community. For those unable to attend in person and for anyone interested, the conference is being livestreamed here.
The IAEA helps countries maximize the benefits of radiation science and technology through technical cooperation, expert guidance and training programmes. The Agency also fosters knowledge transfer through initiatives such as Collaborating Centres and Coordinated Research Activities, while providing peer reviews, safety standards and technical documents. These efforts help countries integrate radiation science and technology in their national plans to address critical challenges in health, industry and environmental sustainability.
