One of EURAMED’s key goals for this year is certainly to expand its membership and thus strengthen the activities of its committees and working groups.
Membership is available in the following categories: full member (institutions or organisations active in the field of medical radiation protection research),
associate member (institutions or organisations that do not actively practice medical radiation protection research,
but that have a considerable interest in the area of radiation protection),
corporate member (enterprises interested in the activities and aims of the Society),
