Since 2017, the Chimie sous Rayonnement-Radiochimie sub-division (SCF/SFP) has been organizing a conference dedicated to radiochemistry, radiation chemistry, and nuclear chemistry.
After the first three successful editions in Strasbourg (2018), in Nice(2022 ), and in Nîmes (2024), the 4thRencontres Rayonnement Radiochimie (R3C) will be held in 2026 at the University Paris-Saclay (Orsay). Registrations are now open. You can register via the « Navigation/ My registration » tab and submit your abstracts (maximum 1 page, abstract template (R3C2026_ABSTRACT_NAME.docx) by email for an oral presentation or a poster in one of the topics listed below.
