Description
Building upon the experience, notably linked to the very positive outcome and feedback of the G-RAD workshop in December 2020, the G-RAD(NEXT) workshop in May 2022, the G-RADNEXT workshop 2023 at CERN, the GB-RADNEXT 2024 Workshop at RAL in the UK, the G-RADNEXT 2025 Workshop in GANIL, France, and the G-RADNEXT Workshop 2026 at Villa Mondragone, Italy, we invite you to join us in May 2027 and continue from where we left last year. The exact location will be communicated in due time.
Objectives
G-RADNEXT 2027 aims to engage the industrial community with RADNEXT 2030 by proposing an event fully dedicated to industry with the following key objectives:
- Collect needs, requirements and future trends from the industrial stakeholders
- Contribute to the development of the facility landscape
- Future perspectives from the application side (devices, test methods, etc.)
- Offer networking opportunities between industry, facility experts and other stakeholders in the field
Target audience
- Companies providing or using radiation testing services and consultancy
- Facilities and research infrastructures providing access to users in the field of radiation testing or intending to provide access in the near future
- Academics working in the field of radiation effects on semiconductors
- Organizations involved in the standardisation of testing methods and workflows
Desired Outcomes
Our goal is to increase the level of engagement from industry with the members of the RADNEXT consortium, with a growth of the industrial quota of transnational access and proprietary/confidential access. We want to better serve the industrial community, and in this way to create value for the European industry and increase the socio-economic impact of RADNEXT 2030. Last but not least, we are striving for fostering the European non-dependency and competitiveness in the field of radiation effects and radiation hardness assurance on electronic and microelectronic devices.
Organizers
The workshop is organised in collaboration between the Platform for Advanced Characterisation (PAC-G), the RADECS association, RADNEXT, Datzmann interact & innovate and ENEA as the workshop host.
RADNEXT is the first distributed research infrastructure for the irradiation community to offer EU-funded Transnational Access (TA) for precompetitive and publishable research activities for industry and academia. It is an initiative recently funded in the context of the Horizon 2020 programme connecting more than 30 partners across Europe and beyond (through TRIUMF’s participation), including most of the major facilities providing active in the domain of irradiation.
PAC-G, the Platform for Advanced Characterisation – Grenoble is a service platform dedicated to the characterisation in micro and nanoelectronics developed in Grenoble in the context of the IRT Nanoelec. This platform propose commercial confidential access to advanced synchrotron X-rays and neutrons end-stations available at the ESRF, the ILL and the LPSC to support the industry of semiconductors. PAC-G is very active in the domain of failure analysis and physical or chemical characterisation and since 2016 launched a programme in the domain of the radiation hardness testing.
The RADECS association, created in 1992, aims to promote basic and applied science and research in the field of radiation and its effects on materials, components and systems for space and ground level applications. RADECS association holds the annual RADECS European Conference and occasional RADECS workshops. It promotes research activities, scientific publications, co-operation and exchange with other relevant organisations on radiation effects.
DATZMANN interact & innovate is providing a portfolio of services centering on accelerator applications and is located in Munich, Germany. Our technical core expertise is in the field of radiations hardness testing, proton therapy for cancer treatments and material characterization with ion beams. Our mission is bridging the gap between science and industry, strengthening the bonds and enforcing technology transfer and innovation. In this context we are conducting studies and surveys on the cooperation between science and business. We perform and support outreach and dissemination activities for the RADNEXT project. Furthermore we organize workshops with a dedicated focus on industry. In addition we are providing various consulting services for academia, public institutions and industry in particular for radiations hardness testing projects.
Seibersdorf Laboratories is a leading provider of specialized testing, measurement, and technical services. Based at the TECH Campus Seibersdorf near Vienna, Austria, the company combines decades of experience, advanced infrastructure, and technical expertise to deliver reliable, application-oriented solutions for industry and international partners. In 2025, Seibersdorf Laboratories established the Aerospace Radiation Competence Center (ARC) to bring together its long-standing expertise and services in radiation effects testing and radiation hardness assurance. ARC provides specialized testing, analysis, and consulting for electronics, materials and systems used in space, aviation, nuclear, and medical applications. Its services cover Total Ionizing Dose (TID), Displacement Damage (DD), Single Event Effects (SEE), and space weather, alongside accredited aircraft crew dosimetry and technical support for international organizations, including ESA and ICAO. As host of G-RADNEXT 2027, Seibersdorf Laboratories looks forward to welcoming the international radiation effects community to Austria.
