Invitation to all Associate Societies on behalf of the IRPA Executive Council and Marina di Giorgio , Chair of the IRPA TG on Woman in Radiation(WiR) to participate in our upcoming webinar, “IRPA Statement on WiR & Call for Action—Empowering Women in Radiation Protection,” scheduled for March 16, 2026.
The webinar will be at 13:00 – 14:30 CET .
During this session, there will be presentation of and discussion of the Statement for Women in Radiation Protection (Version 1: April 2025), which received approval from the Executive Council on December 31, 2025. This important Statement, developed by the IRPA Task Group on Women in Radiation (TG WiR), emphasizes our shared commitment to advancing gender equity, fostering inclusivity, and highlighting the significant contributions of women within the radiation protection profession.
The webinar will serve as a dynamic platform to review the eight Calls for Action detailed in the Statement and to share insights on key topics such as mentorship, workplace policies, and equitable opportunities. We’ll also explore innovative strategies for collaboration, raising visibility, and engaging the next generation in radiation protection. Most importantly, this gathering will reinforce our collective dedication to diversity, a robust safety culture, and ongoing innovation within our field.
Your participation and input will be crucial as we work together to shape the next steps for this initiative.
By joining this important dialogue, you help ensure that IRPA’s gender equity efforts truly reflect the voices and experiences of all Associate Societies.
