Dear People involved with IARR,

Registration for ICRR2019 is progressing well but we are particularly keen to attract more scientist
s in training (SITS) to the meeting. Promoting SIT attendance at meetings has always been a major fo
cus for us at ARR, and we would like to extend this to ICRR. We have an outstanding programme with s
ome really great plenary talks and award lectures, as well as keynote speakers. There will be debate
s and good opportunities to interact and network. At ARR we have been amazed by how attendance at me
etings of this nature enthuses SITS and helps to focus their minds on a career in radiation biology,
be it from a clinical perspective, radiation protection, journalism or research itself. Given the i
nternational nature of this meeting, including so many leading international speakers in the field,
this meeting has an even greater possibility to change the minds of SITS in the context of future ca
reers.

The website for the meeting is http://icrr2019manchester.com/. We appreciate that the cost of attend
ance can be challenging to support – to help this, we have now included on the website a list of bud
get accommodation suitable for SITS. Travel on UK trains can be cheaper if booked in advance (and th
ere is still time for that) and cheap flights to Manchester are available from many destinations in
Europe. Thus, we ask you to consider supporting any SITS in your lab or institute to attend ICRR2019
. For those of your further afield, we have had many bursaries but there is little we can do to dire
ctly help with travel at this point. The possibility for presenting late breaking abstracts as well
as flash presentations is still available (closes July 8th) and we are aiming to support as many SIT
S as possible to provide presentations.

Please convey this message to lab heads (and SITS) in your countries, and encourage as many SITS as
possible to attend what I am sure will be an exciting meeting,

Best wishes,
Penny Jeggo on behalf of
