The Scientific Secretariat

The Scientific Secretariat currently resides in Stockholm, Sweden. However, the seat of ICRP remains in the United Kingdom where ICRP is a Registered Charity.

The secretariat prepares and organises all Main Commission meetings. The meetings of the Committees and Task Groups, although not organised by the Secretariat, also generate a number of administrative tasks.

The Scientific Secretary (photo, 57 kb) is also the editor of the Annals of the ICRP, and final editing of reports for publication plus various discussions and negotiations with the publisher, Elsevier Science Ltd, constitute another major task for the Secretariat.

The Scientific Secretary devotes a considerable time to establishing contacts, participating in meetings etc, and such contacts are expected to continue to be an important task for the Secretariat. Standard administrative issues such as book-keeping and attention to mail and documents and archives are always a part of the Secretariat’s daily tasks.
