<div><span>The course aims at bringing together experts in the field of radiation damage and activation with newcomers from science and industry in the unique settings of the Erice Centre near Trapani in Sicily. It gives an overview to the vast fields of radiation
damage and related radiation protection at accelerator facilities and space missions that must both be equally addressed to ensure a reliable and efficient operation.</span></div>
<p class="x_ContentPasted1" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;font-family:"Times New Roman"; font-size:medium; text-align:start">
The participants will dive into the fundamental quantities and concepts as well as computational and experimental tools and methods for the assessment of radiation damage of materials and electronics, as well as radio-activation aspects of accelerator component
and shielding materials. The course puts also emphasis on applications and lessons learned at high-energy accelerators, experiments, high power target facilities and light sources and addresses synergies with other areas such as space radiation applications
and fusion facilities.</p>
