The mean exposure, that is the mean annual dose of\nper person, is dominated by medical applications and exposure to natural\nsources. Due to recent developments in healthcare, e.g. the increasing\napplication of ionising radiation in medical imaging with relative high\ndoses like CT, and modern high dose applications (for example CT\nangiography), the exposure due to medical application has risen.\nAdditionally, the changes in living conditions increase the exposure to\nnatural radioactivity also: More living time is spent in buildings or in an\nurban environment, which causes higher exposure to Naturally Occurring\nRadioactive Materials (NORM) in building materials and higher exposure to\nradon. The level of radon activity concentration in buildings is far higher\nthan in the environment (outdoor). This effect is often amplified by modern\nenergy-efficient buildings which reduce the air exchange and thus increase\nthe radon indoor activity concentration. In summary both medical application\nof ionizing radiation and natural sources are responsible for the increase\nof the mean annual exposure of the population. The accurate measurement of radiation dose is key to ensuring safety but\nthere are two challenges to be faced: First, new standards and reference\nfields are needed due to the rapid developments in medical imaging,\nradiotherapy and industrial applications. Second, direct communication\nchannels are needed to ensure that information on best practice in\nmeasurements reaches effectively and quickly the people concerned. It is therefore necessary to allow for an international exchange of\ninformation on identified problems and solutions. Consequently, a European\nMetrology Network (EMN) for radiation protection under the roof of EURAMET\nis in the foundation phase. This network EMN for Radiation Protection is being prepared by the project\nEMPIR 19NET03 supportBSS. The project aims to prepare this EMN by addressing this issue\nthrough the identification of stakeholder research needs and by implementing\na long-term ongoing dialogue between stakeholders and the metrology\ncommunity. The EMN will serve as a unique point of contact to address all\nmetrological needs related to radiation protection and it will relate to all\nenvironmental processes where ionising radiation and radionuclides are\ninvolved. A Strategic Research Agenda and two roadmaps are in development, covering\nthe metrology needs of both the Euratom Treaty and the EU Council Directive\n2013\/59\/EURATOM pinning down the basic safety standards for protection\nagainst the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation.\nFurthermore, long-term knowledge sharing, and capacity building will be\nsupported and a proposal for a sustainable joint European metrology\ninfrastructure is under way. This will significantly strengthen the\nradiation protection metrology and support radiation protection measures.\nThe final goal of the network project is a harmonised, sustainable,\ncoordinated and smartly specialised infrastructure to underpin the current\nand future needs expressed in the European regulations for radiation\nprotection.\n                    <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/adgeo-57-1-2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,17]],"date-time":"2021-11-17T05:53:22Z","timestamp":1637128402000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Metrology for radiation protection: a new European network  in the foundation phase"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6858-5795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annette","family":"R\u00f6ttger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Attila","family":"Veres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Sochor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Derlacinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mihail-Razvan","family":"Ioan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Amra","family":"Sabeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Bernat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Christelle","family":"Adam-Guillermin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Henrique","family":"Gracia Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Glavi\u010d-Cindro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Britt","family":"Wens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Linda","family":"Persson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Milo\u0161","family":"\u017divanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Reetta","family":"Nylund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"3145","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bossew, P.: Radon priority areas \u2013 definition, estimation and uncertainty,\nNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 33, 11\u201311, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2298\/NTRP180515011B, 2018.","DOI":"10.2298\/NTRP180515011B"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Clarke, R.
