In the framework of the H2020 European CONCERT project, a short course of two weeks duration on “Radiation-induced effects with particular emphasis on genetics, development, teratology, cognition as well as space-related health issues” is organized by the Academy of Nuclear Science and Technology of the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre. It is open to postgraduate students and researchers working in the European Union, who are interested in radiation research.  This initiative facilitates and promotes training and education in support of the research programme in radiation protection in Europe, and also makes more widely available training opportunities in order to help attract top-level students into the field.
