Letter of InvItatIon

Dear Colleagues,

IRPA14:

“PRACTISING RADIATION PROTECTION: sharing the experience – new challenges”

We are delighted to invite you to participate as an exhibitor and/or sponsor in the 14th Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) in Cape Town, South Africa in 2016, which will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 9 - 13 May 2016. IRPA is the international voice of the radiation protection profession and promotes excellence in national and regional associate societies and radiation protection professionals by providing benchmarks of good practice and enhancing professional competence and networking. The Congress is being hosted on behalf of IRPA by the South African Societies for Radiological Protection (SARPA and SARPS).

It is anticipated that the 14th IRPA International Congress in Cape Town will be the largest ever gathering of radiation protection professionals from around the world, and will share good practice and identify the key issues for our profession. We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town for an excellent congress in 2016, and in particular to delivering on our congress theme ‘Practising Radiation Protection: sharing the experience – new challenges’. The value of fully engaging with society and its representatives, and encouraging involvement in decision making processes, is increasingly recognised.

Indeed, many experiences have shown that it can be impossible to move forward successfully without structured and meaningful engagement with stakeholders.

The details of the exhibition opportunities are incorporated in the ensuing pages in this document.

We hope that you will consider supporting this prestigious and enjoyable Congress and we look forward to seeing you in Cape Town in 2016.

Yours sincerely

ThIAGAN PAThER DOuG ChAmbERSCongress President and Congress Support & ExhibitionCongress Organising Committee Chair of the Sponsorship Coordinator IRPA14

What Is IrPa

IRPA is the international professional society for radiation protection. It promotes excellence in the practice of radiation protection through national and regional associate societies for radiation protection professionals by providing benchmarks of good practice and enhancing professional competence and networking.

The IRPA membership comprises about 18000 individual members representing 50 national and regional Associate Societies in 65 countries.

The primary purpose of IRPA is to provide a medium whereby those engaged in radiation protection activities in all countries may communicate more readily with each other and through this process advance radiation protection in many parts of the world. This includes relevant aspects of such branches of knowledge as science, medicine, engineering, technology and law, to provide for the protection of man and his environment from the hazards caused by radiation, and thereby to facilitate the safe use of medical, scientific, and industrial radiological practices for the benefit of mankind.

It is a major task for IRPA to provide for and support international meetings for the discussion of radiation protection. The International Congresses of IRPA itself are the most important of these meetings. These have been held every four years since 1966, in between these events there are also a series of regional Congresses.

For all Associate Societies of IRPA and individual members, it is an important objective to attend the next International IRPA Congress. For many other related professions it is an excellent opportunity to communicate on the achievements, scientific knowledge and operational experience in radiation protection.

- Occupational, public, patient and environmental protection - Justification and optimisation - Emergency planning and preparedness- Waste management - Transport- Rehabilitation - Multi stakeholder relations and communication- Radiation protection culture and ethical issues- Educational outreach - Decommissioning- Nuclear security- Integrated management systems

The programme structure will enable delegates to gain an overview of radiation protection science, philosophy and practice, to engage in detailed discussion and debate around key issues in their particular area of interest and to hear summaries of all the deliberations.

Opportunities for developing the congress theme through these topics will include: public lectures; involvement of politicians and decision makers; explorations of how the media address radiation issues; perspectives from other risks - e.g. chemicals, transport etc.; wider interest group/ non-governmental organisation (NGO) views; presentations and discussions of minority views; risk perception and communication.
