Plenary meetings of the ICRM are held biennially and have developed into a
successful instrument of communication among various specialists, thus encouraging
international co-operation. The most recent in the series of ICRM meetings,
the "16th International Conference on Radionuclide Metrology and its Applications,"
September 3 - 7, 2007, was hosted by the National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA)
at the Arrabella Sheraton in Cape Town, South Africa. The local organization was undertaken by
the NMISA, Pretoria, South Africa.
The next biennial conference of the ICRM, the "17th International Conference on
Radionuclide Metrology and its Applications," will be hosted by the SMU (Slovak
Institute of Metrology) in Bratislava, Slovakia from September 7 - 11, 2009.
Please visit the conference website (http://www.icrm2009.sk)
for more information and for updates as they are made available.
The Low-Level Measurement Techniques working group has
scheduled a meeting, ICRM-LLRMT'08, for September 22 - 26, 2008, at the PTB in Braunschweig, Germany. For more

The International Committee for Radionuclide Metrology (ICRM) is an association
of radionuclide metrology laboratories whose membership is composed of
delegates of these laboratories together with other scientists (associate
members) actively engaged in the study and applications of radioactivity. It
explicitly aims at being an international forum for the dissemination of
information on techniques, applications and data in the field of radionuclide
metrology. This discipline provides a range of tools for tackling a wide
variety of problems in numerous other fields, for both basic research and
industrial applications.
