It is our great pleasure to invite you to a Training Course on Radiation Protection Dosimetry and Accreditation of IMS: Secrets & Solutions, based on the European document RP160, to be held at IST at Campus Tecnológico e Nuclear, Bobadela, close to Lisbon, Portugal, from 3^rd to 7^th October 2022.

The Training Course will be organized by the EURADOS WG02 on Harmonization of Individual Monitoring in Europe and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Bobadela, near Lisbon. This well-established education and training event is supported by PTB, the general organization is done by Oliver Hupe, PTB.

The general topic of the Training Course is the implementation of the European Commission`s Technical Recommendations for Monitoring Individuals Occupationally Exposed to External Radiation (Radiation Protection 160).

The general purpose is the implementation of the European Commission Technical Recommendations for Monitoring Individuals Occupationally Exposed to External Radiation (Radiation Protection 160, RP160). All aspects of individual monitoring as discussed in RP160 will be addressed during the course with an emphasis on metrology, quality assurance and type testing. Recent developments will also be covered, including the changes coming with the new version of ISO/IEC 17025:2017, impact of the EU Directive 2013/59/Euratom and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
