The purpose of the event is to provide a forum for exchanging information, experiences, and anticipated future developments for keeping the highest levels of standards on safety and managing the interrelationships between safety and sustainability, in the context of the themes and topics of the conference. The event will be focused on safety and on the existing interrelationships between safety and sustainability, will consider how these can be addressed in an integrated way and will identify pragmatic approaches for managing such interrelationships in practice.

While the conference will focus on presenting the progress made towards more sustainable approaches in the safe management of radioactive waste, decommissioning, environmental protection and remediation and their common aspects of safety, it will ultimately seek to:

• Initiate and assist the necessary dialogue between the safety and sustainability communities to assess and benefit from a holistic understanding of safety and sustainability.

• Consider how to address the relevant interrelationships in an integrated way.

• Identify practical approaches to managing the interrelationships in decision-making, from policymaking to implementation.
