The aim of this meeting is to discuss on the biological effects of radiation related to its application.
As medical use of radiation is expanding globally, the scientific research to clarify the biological effects of low-dose and low-dose-rate exposure is essential not only for optimization of the current procedures but also for future development of new technology.
We also emphasize the importance of scientific, evidence-based discussions among the participants of various expertise.

Background of the Meeting

Industry and academia in Japan have been cooperating and collaborating with the University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees, "195th Committee on Utilization and Biological Effects of Radiation" of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). The meeting will be held to present the results of the activities of this committee, which is one of the outcomes of the committee's activities.
This meeting is one of the outcomes of the activities of this committee and is being held in the spirit of the International Workshop on the Biological Effects of Radiation (BER2018) held in Osaka in 2018 and The Osaka Call-for-Action declared at that time.
