EURAD Mobility grant: Participation to EURAD final annual event in Bucharest

The final annual event of EURAD took place in Bucharest from April 23-25, drawing over 190 participants from more than 20 countries. The event began with strategic and student sessions, which showcased how the joint programme benefited Member States, students, and organizations involved in radioactive waste management (RWM). These sessions highlighted the added value provided by the joint programme. The latter part of the event focused on presenting cutting-edge scientific results and specific technical achievements within EURAD. Each of the different work packages (WPs) shared their key conclusions with the participants. Additionally, the event marked the announcement of EURAD-2, set to begin in October. Over the three days, the event featured 38 presentations in 20 sessions and displayed 32 posters. Following the EURAD final event, a workshop was organized by the leaders of HITEC-GAS to present the main scientific achievements of both work packages. While many findings significantly advanced scientific knowledge on these two aspects, there remains substantial potential to further understand the involved processes. This deeper understanding is essential for enhancing safety assessments and optimizing repository designs.
