The main purpose of attending the EURAD final event was to present a poster showcasing my recent research within the EURAD project. Additionally, I aimed to participate in the congress, with a particular focus on the final reviews of the work packages (WPs) presented by their leaders.
The presentations showed that the different WPs have achieved impressive results in their respective areas. Nonetheless, ongoing research is essential. Some WPs will transition to the EURAD-2 project, providing an opportunity for further investigation into topics related to nuclear waste management.
Having been involved in the workpackage 15 – ConCord, I was particularly interested in the final results achieved over the past five years of corrosion processes in the conditions of a deep geological repository (DGR). Also, it was emphasized the need for further research to understand these systems in order to understand and model the effect of coupled processes on corrosion phenomena in different types of barriers.
Additionally, the discussions in the student sessions were of great interest to me. As a PhD graduate from the EURAD project, I was keen to learn about future career opportunities and the need for postdoctoral researchers in EURAD-2.
Overall, attending EURAD’s final event was an enriching experience, and the knowledge I gained is of significant interest to me
