ROOMS is a conference dedicated to national and international scientific community members, radon testers, diagnosticians, mitigators, educators, public stakeholders, business people and authorities and aims to exchange information on solutions to radon problems in buildings. The main topics are:
Building protection measurements: prevention, diagnosis, remediation
Radon remediation in specific conditions: waterworks, special workplaces, public buildings
Impact of changes in building techniques or energy retrofit: low-energy building, etc.
ROOMS2024 will be held from 7th – 10th October 2024 in Madeira, Portugal by ERA. Related info on https://madeirarnweek.com/.

Event Details
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with techniques of studying genotoxic effects of ionising radiation which are of relevance for RadoNorm and the broad field of radiation research. The target group are students and young researchers with various backgrounds who want to get a basic introduction to biological effects of radiation. The course will contain both lectures and practical laboratory work. The lectures will focus on various aspects of biological effects of low and high LET ionising radiation as well as on techniques to detect them using cytogenetics and immunogenetics.
The practical part will focus on teaching laboratory techniques used to study genotoxic radiation effects on cells: 1) harvesting cells and analysing chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei by the Giemsa method; 2) in situ hybridization with whole chromosome probes and analysis of translocations; 3) gamma H2AX focus assay; 4) basics of high and low LET radiation detection and dosimetry.
The course will last 2 weeks and will be nested in a 10 week “introduction to radiobiology and cellular toxicology” course held at the Stockholm University (SU). The regular SU course is held for a maximum of 16 students. CELET will harbour a maximum of 12 students, bringing the total number of participants to 28.
Information for applicants: The course is open to any postgraduate student or researcher working in an EU academic institution. There is no course fee and every student will receive a financial support equivalent to 50 Euro per day to cover the costs of logging. The University has no logging possibilities so logging will be offered in a youth hostel. Alternatively, the applicant can find her/his own logging but the sum of financial support will remain 50 Euro per night. No other financial support will be provided
