Attend with full event access, all sessions, all networking.
Turn NORM Liabilities Into Long-Term Value.
Organised by Informa, with the European NORM Association (ENA) as scientific leading organisation and in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the conference will provide a platform that bridges policy, science and practical solutions to solve today's most pressing challenges in radiation protection, waste management, environmental stewardship and circular resource utilisation.
Across mining, oil & gas, rare earths, phosphates, water treatment and critical minerals industries, organisations are facing growing pressure to manage Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) safely, responsibly and cost-effectively.
Regulatory expectations are increasing. Disposal routes are becoming more constrained. Long-term liabilities are growing. At the same time, new technologies and circular economy approaches are creating opportunities to recover value from materials once viewed only as waste.
By fostering a shared vision, the conference aims to reposition NORM management within the broader strategic agenda of sustainability, circular economy, and resource security. Moving beyond a compliance-driven narrative and creating 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.
Join global industry leaders, regulators, researchers and solution providers in Vienna to explore practical strategies, proven technologies and international best practices shaping the future of NORM management.
Confirmed Speakers
The conference is shaped by a dedicated committee of experts spanning industry, regulation and research.
Why attend the most anticipated gathering for NORM and TENORM management, disposal and valorisation.
The inaugural conference theme, "Turning the Key: From Liabilities to Opportunities," challenges us to rethink NORM management—not simply as a compliance issue, but as a strategic enabler for sustainability, innovation, resource recovery and long-term value creation.
Solve Real Industry Challenges
