This Workshop arises from the project “Radon Prevention and Remediation” (http://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/radpar/) which has received funding from the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC), European Union, in the framework of the Health Programme 2008 – 2013.

The Workshop’s main objectives:
I. To gain a better understanding of the health risk related to radon existing in the indoor environment and play a key role towards the radon prevention and remediation;
II. To disseminate the results and the merits of methodology tools of the RADPAR project;
III. To identify the opportunities for exploitation and dissemination, after the formal completion of the project, by policy makers, health professionals and relevant stakeholders, as well as to receive feedback from them.

The attendees are expected to cover their own expenses and stay. The workshop will cover coffee breaks and light lunch.
