30 years of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association

The 30th anniversary of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA, www.hdzz.hr/) is an opportunity to review the work of the society and to point out the main goals for the future. CRPA was founded in 1979 in the frame of the Yugoslav Radiation Protection Association. Since 1991 CRPA is an independent organization and in 1992 became a regular member of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA). CRPA is a public organization with the purpose of promoting and developing scientific, educational and cultural activities in the field of radiation protection and related fields of science with 185 members from of various areas of radiation science. One of the main activities of CRPA is a regular organization of national symposia. Seven national symposia of CRPA with international participation were organized after 1991. All presentations were published as full papers in printed Proceedings. In 2001 CRPA organized the IRPA Regional Congress in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Members of CRPA frequently take part in organization of regional, European and world IRPA congresses and in the work of IRPA General Assembly. CRPA has been actively involved in the meetings of the European radiation protection societies since 2004. The organization of the 6th meeting of this kind (Zagreb, October 26, 2009) was entrusted to CRPA. On the celebration of the 30th birthday of CRPA the first award for best work in the field of radiation protection will be given to the young scientist who will then compete for the first European award for young scientists. In future CRPA will continue to organize regular national symposia and encourage its members to participate at IRPA congresses. It will increase the efforts in organization of lectures for both scientific community and general population. It will also keep its presence in various international activities of radiation protection societies with emphasis on improvement of cooperation with the societies in the neighbouring countries.
