SPERA 2018: Bringing Environmental Radioactivity Research to Western Australia
Dates: 6th – 9th November 2018
Location: Perth, Australia
For more information: http://www.promaco.com.au/events/spera2018/
Background
The South Pacific Environmental Radioactivity Association (SPERA) would like to invite professionals, researchers, and students to join the SPERA Conference in Perth, WA. SPERA meetings are an invaluable venue for scientific exchange amongst those that work on environmental radioactivity, open to all professionals, researchers and students.
The program will cover all aspects of environmental radioactivity, ranging from advances in methods, new research in radioecology and work being conducted on emergency preparedness and in contaminated sites. We aim to have as many oral presentations as possible in the various sessions, as well as a large selection of posters that shall boost debate and discussion amongst attendees. This will be complemented by several exciting talks by invited speakers and by a one-day workshop on Radiotracers in the Environment, co-organised with the RACI Radiochemistry Division.
The conference will take place at The University of Western Australia. This is located 5 minutes from Perth CBD and is positioned alongside Perth’s iconic Swan River.
