NSFS Young Generation Network

The Nordic Society for Radiation Protection (NSFS) has established a Young Generation Network (NSFS YGN) to engage and support early-career professionals and students in radiation protection in the Nordic region. The objective is to provide a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration between young professionals and experienced members of the radiation protection community.

Within the Nordic region, there is a long tradition of collaboration through the Nordic Society for Radiation Protection (NSFS). Establishing an NSFS YGN under the NSFS umbrella will strengthen these ties and ensure generational renewal.

Membership of the NSFS YGN would be open to students or professionals under 35 years or working within the first 10 years of the career in the field of radiation protection or its related fields.

The first meeting took place on January 28th, bringing together students and professionals from across the Nordic countries to create a network for newcomers to radiation protection. Since then, two additional meetings have been held to formally establish NSFS YGN.

On September 4th, 2026, the group will host its founding meeting, during which the Terms and Conditions will be approved, and members will elect two representatives from each Nordic country, as well as a secretary, vice-chair, and chair. NSFS YGN welcomes all eligible individuals interested in joining to attend this meeting and become part of the next generation of radiation protection professionals.
