Radiation safety experts worldwide are invited to take part in sharing practical experience of implementing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety standards to protect workers, patients, the public, and the environment from natural and artificial radiation sources at a fully virtual IAEA conference. "International Conference on Radiation Safety: Improving Radiation Protection in Practice" will be held 9–20 November 2020. The virtual conference has been extended from a one-week period to two weeks.

More than 600 participants have been designated through their national authority to participate, many of whom will be delivering oral presentations and displaying posters based on their research online at the event.

Although the deadline to apply to present has passed, anyone interested in joining the discussions and listening to the presentations can fill in the participation form on the conference webpage without the need to have national designation. For those who would like to just listen to the conference, view-only livestream access will be available on the conference website.

A special program for students and professionals aged 35 years and younger is being organized as part of the conference. The IAEA is organizing professional-development events for young people, including virtual networking opportunities and a speaker series in which experts from the various fields in radiation safety will offer career insight. If you wish to participate, please complete this form.
