Metrology for radiation protection: a new European network in the foundation phase

International audienceEuropean Metrology Networks are organized under the umbrella of EURAMET in order to improve Europe’s metrology capabilities based on the high-quality research and metrology service. One of the proposed European Metrology Networks is currently prepared by the EMPIR 19NET03 supportBSS Joint Network Project to address the needs in metrology for radiation protection and radiation protection regulation. The new network EMN for Radiation Protection (short name: RadiationProtect) that was approved by EURAMET in the General Assembly 2021 aims to improve communication between regulatory bodies, metrology institutes, and their stakeholders, promote smart specialization of calibration laboratories, establish a knowledge sharing program, and create roadmaps for future research priorities in the field of radiation protection metrology
