International Symposium on Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material 2025
13th - 17th October 2025 - Accra, Ghana
The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, Ghana Association for Radiation Protection, African ALARA Network and the Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Ghana, in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, are organizing the Eleventh International Symposium on Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM XI). NORM XI, the first NORM Symposium to be organized in Sub-Saharan Africa will take place from 13 – 17 October 2025 in Accra, Ghana.
As a direct consequence of the 1996 European Council Directive 96/29/Euratom and its possible implications for non-nuclear industries in Europe, a symposium on NORM, the first in the current series, was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1997.
This Symposium will also highlight key NORM management challenges and progress in Sub-Saharan Africa. The target audience of the Symposium is a variety of stakeholders including various sectors of industry associated with NORM, (inter)national transport, NORM disposal facilities, etc., as well as researchers and regulators. The presentations and sharing of information should lead to increased harmonization of operational aspects and wider application of international guidance, including the IAEA GSR Part 3, which achieved already considerable mutual harmonization worldwide.

National Boardroom Governance Summit 2025
14th October 2025 - Accra, Ghana
The Boardroom Governance Summit (BGS) is a flagship leadership and governance event designed to foster bold, ethical, and transformative boardroom practices across Africa. The summit brings together a dynamic mix of public and private sector leaders to deliberate on critical governance issues, share insights, and explore actionable strategies for board effectiveness.
Since its inception in 2024, BGS has served as a thought-leadership platform, offering expert dialogue, peer-to-peer learning, and exposure to international best practices in corporate governance, strategic oversight, and stakeholder engagement.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Boardroom Governance Summit — a platform created to foster critical dialogue, share insights, and strengthen corporate governance practices across Africa. As we navigate an era marked by disruption, innovation, and growing stakeholder expectations, it is imperative that boardrooms evolve — not just to meet compliance standards, but to lead with integrity, foresight, and impact. This summit is designed to bring together seasoned leaders, emerging thinkers, regulators, and professionals committed to raising the bar of accountability and strategic leadership. Thank you for being part of this movement. I look forward to the connections, conversations, and commitments that will shape better boardrooms and, ultimately, better organizations.
