Turning the Key: From Liabilities to Opportunities
The leading event for NORM management at the nexus of energy, resources, and sustainability
A unique and timely opportunity. Advancing global NORM management together.
Organised by Informa, with the European NORM Association (ENA) as scientific leading organisation and in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the NORM Management Conference - Vienna will provide an authoritative and neutral platform that bridges policy, science, practical solutions to industry practice.
The conference aims to reposition NORM management within the broader strategic agenda of sustainability, circular economy, and resource security. By fostering a shared vision, it seeks to move beyond a compliance-driven narrative and create a constructive dialogue on how safe and responsible NORM management can unlock economic value, reduce long-term liabilities, and contribute to more resource-efficient industrial systems.
By bringing together key stakeholders from responsible sectors, the conference will promote the identification of viable pathways for beneficial use of NORM residues, stimulate innovation, and highlight investment opportunities along with safe management and disposal of NORM.
Scientific Committee
The conference is shaped by a dedicated committee of experts spanning industry, regulation and research.
