Representatives from the 164 Member States of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will meet at the Vienna International Centre (VIC) on Monday, 14 September 2014, starting at 10:00 CET, for the five-day annual IAEA General Conference to discuss major topics on the Agency's agenda.
This year's Scientific Forum, to be held on the sidelines of the General Conference on 15 and 16 September 2015, is entitled Atoms in Industry: Radiation Technology for Development.
All plenary sessions of the General Conference and the Scientific Forum will be open to the media. They will also be streamed live on the IAEA website.
Details of the General Conference and the Scientific Forum, including the provisional agenda, are available on the IAEA website. The IAEA Press Office will distribute a schedule of special briefings to be offered to the media, as well as Conference side events that are open to the media.
Most of the main Conference events will take place in the M-Building of the VIC, with the exception of the Scientific Forum, which will take place in Boardroom D of the C-Building.
