ARGONA End Users Conference
How can recent research improve the governance of nuclear waste management in Europe?
Time March 17 -18, 2009
Venue Pingstkyrkan, S:t Persgatan 9, Uppsala
(Pingstkyrkan - Pentecostal Church - is one of the major conference venues in Uppsala)
The Uppsala conference is an opportunity for communication and dissemination of preliminary results from the ARGONA project and to give the project feedback on its preliminary results and recommendations. The intention is also to give a wider view of the state of knowledge about participation and transparency in radioactive waste management in Europe by the active participation of three other major on-going or recently ended projects - CARL, OBRA and CIP.
-
ARGONA (Arenas for Risk Governance) is a research action part-funded under the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission
-
CARL (Citizen stakeholders, Agencies responsible for radioactive waste management, social science Research organizations and Licensing and regulatory authorities) is an independent, self-supporting consortium of organisations from countries that have experience with stakeholder involvement in radioactive waste management.
-
OBRA (European Observatory for long-term governance on radioactive waste management) is a coordination action under the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission It includes a feasibility study for a European Observatory for long-term governance on radioactive waste management
-
CIP (COWAM (Community Waste Management) in P ractice) - is a research action part-funded under the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission
The conference provides a forum for municipalities, other end users and researchers to discuss the outcome of research in the field, and to reach their own respective positions about their needs for participation and transparency in the future. The focus is thus on practical implications of research.
