Conclusions

The RICOMET 2016 Conference reaffirmed: 

• The complexity of radiological protection issues, which require a trans-disciplinary research approach, integrating natural sciences with social sciences and humanities (SSH). 
• The importance of informed decisions at all levels.
• That accepted, sustainable decisions need to address stakeholder concerns visibly and transparently.
• The value and utility of bottom-up, national stakeholder panels to discuss issues and identify key elements to be addressed through research. 
• The need to develop attractive educational programmes related to ionising radiation for different public. 
• The value of a self-sustainable Social Sciences and Humanities network.
