The ESOREX project has started in 1995 as studies funded by the European Commission for improving the harmonization of occupational radiation protection in Europe and for analyzing dose trends in various sectors of activity using radiation sources. In December 2012 the European Commission (EC) has entrusted the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) with the development of a web-based Platform within a three-year contract, ending in December 2015.

European Platform for Occupational Radiation Exposure (ESOREX)
History
Objectives
The objectives of the ESOREX-Platform are:
- to enable easy information and experience exchange between experts in occupational radiation exposure, e.g. from national dose registries
- to assist in the implementation of requirements on occupational radiation protection in the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards Directive
- to establish and maintain an overview on national arrangements for occupational radiation exposure in Europe
- to create a database on occupational radiation exposure for the evaluation and assessment of occupational radiation exposure data
- to promote the harmonization of data and information reporting formats within Europe and beyond
- to establish working relationships with relevant international organizations and bodies.
Management
The ESOREX-platform is managed by IRSN.
Membership and Organization
ESOREX-platform is available both for public and experts (authorized people) by two different ways:
- A “simple” mode offering predefined pages/charts for the description of national arrangements and data of occupational exposure, and the possibility to extract data according to multiple parameters and to export results (query tool).
- An “advanced” mode by which experts will have the ability to communicate through the forum.
What is new?
Graphs for monitored and measurably exposed workers for up to 14 countries are accessible for the years 2010-2020. The latest results for the year 2020 have been uploaded and can be found:
The Query tool is open to the public since 2019.
