The Ninth Epidemiological Training Workshop for Radiobiologists, sponsored by the Council of Radiation Effects Research Organizations,* was held at the Hiroshima RERF Auditorium August 20–21.

 

The workshop was attended by 38 participants from outside organizations, including radiological technicians and government officials, as well as non-specialists interested in the workshop from the viewpoint of survival risk analysis as opposed to radiation research. It was encouraging to learn how the scope of participants has grown over time.

 

I would like to sincerely thank the workshop participants and lecturers, as well as the staff involved in holding the event.
