CERN is organising the RADECS 2017 conference, which stands for RADiation Effects on Components and Systems. It will be held 2 October to 6 in Geneva, Switzerland at the Centre International des Congrès de Genève (CICG).

Early-bird registration will be open until 19 September, though late registration will be possible on-site during the conference. 

This year's CERN edition of RADECS will take advantage of the synergies across domains as diverse as Space, Avionics, ground applications and particle accelerators to offer a conference featuring a superb variety of topics around the qualification of electronic components and systems used in radiation environments. Mondays’ short course entitled “From Space to Ground and Below” perfectly reflects the spirit and theme of this conference. RADECS 2017 will provide a unique opportunity to combine the understanding and techniques from different fields in order to pave the way to tomorrow’s applications and challenges.

The conference will also host complementary events, such as the Women in Engineering event on the evening of the 2 October, as well as several events related to RADSAGA, an innovative EC funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN), which stands for RADiation and Reliability Challenges for Electronics used in Space, Aviation, Ground and Accelerators.

The latest update shows not only a strong scientific and technical program with more than 200 contributions, but let us expect more than 600 participants and almost 50 international exhibiting companies, promising already today a dynamic and dense RADECS week in Geneva.
