Conclusion and recommendations
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),
and individual member (any health professional or other scientist committed to the objectives of EURAMED with a completed university or equivalent education may apply for individual membership of EURAMED provided that they are mainly engaged in radiology,
nuclear medicine,
radiation oncology,
medical physics,
radiography or related fields).
Member recruitment has started and is a current priority.
Membership is designed to be particularly attractive to medical institutions,
radiation protection institutions,
and authorities interested in medical radiation protection.
The focus of EURAMED is necessarily on the medical aspects of radiation protection,
which is why medical research centres and university hospitals should be especially encouraged to become full members.
