One of the tasks of the <jats:italic>supportBSS<\/jats:italic> project was the preparation of a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) based on the identified metrology needs to support the European legislation and regulation in Radiation Protection, and of two Roadmaps for metrology services and capabilities, one under the European Council Directive 2013\/59\/EURATOM and the other under the EURATOM Treaty. The preparation of the SRA began with a comprehensive literature review including the analysis of the SRAs from the MEENAS Radiation Protection platforms and of strategic documents from other relevant organizations such as IAEA, BIPM-CCRI, HERCA, EURAMET, among others. Information was also collected from the stakeholders at different stages of the project, through organized workshops and a targeted questionnaire, which included specific sections for metrology laboratories and for stakeholders from the different fields of activity. This paper presents the first SRA and Roadmaps developed as key outputs of the <jats:italic>supportBSS<\/jats:italic> project, presented to EURAMET as deliverables 4 and 5 at the closure of the project. Taking into account the ongoing technological developments in the field, as well as the fact that EURAMET may use the information collected at its own discretion, it is anticipated the European Metrology Network for Radiation Protection will need to periodically revise and update these documents in the near future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1140\/epjp\/s13360-025-06898-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]],"date-time":"2025-10-18T17:33:29Z","timestamp":1760808809000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Strategic research agenda and roadmaps for radiation protection metrology"],"prefix":"10.1140","volume":"140","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7221-871X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9381-6372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarida","family":"Caldeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6880-7634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2099-3452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steffen","family":"Ketelhut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3547-763X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Behnam","family":"Khanbabaee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6561-3375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver","family":"Hupe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0907-6509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayo","family":"Zutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6858-5795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annette","family":"R\u00f6ttger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4471-6938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teemu","family":"Siiskonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6801-4476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reetta","family":"Nylund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8833-0762","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christelle","family":"Adam-Guillermin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2965-1897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milo\u0161","family":"\u017divanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Attila","family":"Veres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4181-560X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir","family":"Sochor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2657-8471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihail-Razvan","family":"Ioan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Amra","family":"\u0160abeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1191-978X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Bernat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0837-2728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Britt","family":"Wens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8819-4182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis","family":"Glavi\u010d-Cindro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8143-9851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linda","family":"Persson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"6898_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.5194\/adgeo-57-1-2021","volume":"57","author":"A R\u00f6ttger","year":"2021","unstructured":"A.
