History
The foundation of the European Radiation Research Society dates back to the beginning of the second half of the 20th Century: November 5th, 1959
Following a series of Radiobiology conferences organised by a European Steering Commitee: Aarhus (1953), Liège (1954), Cambridge (1955) and Stockolm (1956), on November 5 1959, the Association of the Radiobiologists from the Countries of Euratom was founded in Brussels (statute published in the appendix of the Belgian Monitor, November 5th, 1959, n° 4481, pg 2063).
In view of the increasingly multidisciplinary character of radiation research the name of the Society was changed to "European Radiation Research Society" in 2005.
The ERRS founders were:
Boris Rajewski (Frankfurt, Germany)
Andre Chevalier (Strasbourg, France)
Adriano Buzzati-Traverso (Pavia, Italy)
Charles-Edouard Rischard (Luxembourg, Grand Duchy)
Jacob Cohen (Rijswijk, Netherlands)
Zénon-Marcel Bacq (Liège, Belgium)
An extraordinary general assembly was held on March 23th, 1964 in Zurich and "the Association of the Radiobiologists of the Countries of Euratom in Brussels" changed its name to become the "European Society for Radiation Biology" (statutes published in the appendix of the Belgian Monitor of July 30, 1964, n°3831, pg 1522-1523).
The first council was composed of:
Karl Zimmer (Karlsruhe, Germany) - President
Emile-Hippolyte Betz (Liège, Belgium) - Secretary-Treasurer
Elio Borghese (Roma, Italy)
Robert Brinkman (Groningen, Netherlands)
