WELCOME

The Latin American community of researchers who study radiation dosimetry and use methods based on condensed-matter or solid-state warmly invites researchers working in this topic to join this congress. This will be a great opportunity to meet colleagues working in this area, share your scientific results and strengthen this important research area in Latin America.

The conference will be preceded by the Shigueo Watanabe School: Concepts and Trends in Radiation Dosimetry and its Applications, to introduce the young generations to this research field.

Because of the pandemic, this first conference will be a virtual meeting using state-of-the-art technologies to guarantee good communication and discussions of the recent advances in the area. We anticipate a stimulating and rewarding meeting. Participants from Latin America as well as from other regions are welcome.

All participants are encouraged to submit an abstract and to give either an oral or a poster presentation. The Proceedings will be composed of full papers and will be published within one year after the Conference, as a special issue of the Brazilian Journal of Radiation Science (www.bjrs.org.br). All manuscripts will be evaluated by two referees and must meet the journal acceptance criteria.
