Research is an essential activity for IRSN, which devotes around 40% of its resources to it. This level of investment, maintained in 2022, has two main objectives. First, it provides the Institute\u2019s teams in charge of assessing dossiers related to nuclear safety, to radiological protection of the environment, the public, patients and workers, to environmental radiation monitoring, or to human health, with new-found knowledge resulting from finalized research. This enables the teams to fulfill, in complete independence, their mission as public experts in radiological and nuclear risks, providing support to the public authorities in all these fields. Two, it involves looking further ahead, in an anticipatory or exploratory research approach, which is aimed at acquiring knowledge and skills in new paths or concepts, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever their nature and scope \u2013 national, European or international \u2013 IRSN\u2019s research programs are designed, for the most part, as partnerships in conjunction with universities, laboratories, technical nuclear safety organizations, etc. They are also integrated in schemes such as the Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Research Program (RSNR) financed by the Investment Program for the Future and operated by the French National Research Agency or the European Commission\u2019s Horizon Europe<\/em> Research and Innovation Framework Program. Finally, in order to define its research policy and govern its programs, the Institute draws on two complementary bodies: the Scientific Council and the Research Steering Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Research is an essential activity for IRSN, which devotes around 40% of its resources to it.
