RADECS (RADiation and its Effects on Components and Systems Conference) is the annual international scientific and industrial forum on radiation and its effects on electronics and photonic materials, devices, circuits, sensors and systems. It is organized every year in a European venue and attracts hundreds of scientists and engineers from all over the world who exchange on the latest advances and results about:

 

• Basic Mechanisms of Radiation Effects

• Radiation Effects in Devices and Integrated Circuits:

  • Total Ionizing Dose (TID)

  • Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID)

  • Synergistic Effects

  • Single Event Effects (SEE)

• Radiation Environments

• Radiation Test Facilities & Dosimetry

• Radiation Hardening Techniques (Device, board and system level)

• Radiation Hardness Assurance

• Radiation Effects in Photonics, Optoelectronics and Sensors

• Radiation Effects in complex devices and systems

 

The 2025 edition of the RADECS Conference will be held on September 29 – October 3 at A Room with a ZOO in Antwerp (Belgium).

It is organized by KU Leuven on behalf of the RADECS Association and is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE-NPSS.

 

In addition to the usual RADECS topics, the 2025 Short Course is entitled ‘The Tools of Our Trade: From Space Environment to Systems and Validation’. It  will focus on the tools used in the radiation hardness assurance (RHA) process including modeling, simulation, prediction, and validation. This one-day event follows the typical flow of RHA-related processes with the morning session emphasizing the basics while the afternoon delves deeper into applying the basics knowledge to device development, performance analysis, and system level consideration/validation.

 

Without forgetting a wonderful social program including technical visits, tours and social events which will allow the attendees and companions to enjoy Antwerp and surroundings.

 

On behalf of our committee, we invite you to join us for an outstanding RADECS 2025 conference and we look forward to meeting you in Antwerp!
