NKS-B ANTHROPIC

Assessment of climate change's impacts on radioecological safety of subpolar and Nordic marine environment

27-28 March 2023, DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, Denmark

Workshop Venue:

The Kick-off Workshop of ANTHROPIC Project took place both online and offline at DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, Denmark.

Workshop Agenda:

27^th March: PUBLIC lectures given by the invited experts working in environmental radioactivity monitoring, climate studies, and radioecological assessment in the Nordic Seas.

28^th March: INTERNAL discussion on the project’s technical details.

WORKSHOP PROGRAM AVAILABLE (CLICK HERE) 

Workshop Objectives:

The seminar aims: 1) to share the knowledge of marine radioactivity monitoring and climate change in the Nordic Seas; 2) to exchange the up-to-date practices of radioecology assessment and nuclear emergency preparedness in the Nordic countries, 3) to determine the technical details of the ANTHROPIC Project according to the capabilities of research groups and desirable outputs of end users.
