| Abstrakt: | The European NORM Association (ENA) was founded in 2017, merging previously informal European networks. It has the statute of an International Non-profit Organization established under Belgian Law. The objective of ENA is to promote and advance radiation protection in the context of exposure to NORM. It operates as a European platform and forum for discussion, dissemination and exchange of information, training and education and by supporting scientific knowledge and new directions of research related to NORM issues. A key activity of ENA is to share practical solutions. To this end, ENA gathers radiation protection practitioners, regulators, scientists and industry representatives in order to support the management of NORM in compliance with European standards and according to best practices. Since its foundation, ENA has organized three workshops where topical issues on NORM have been discussed. It has established close working relationships and links with IAEA, HERCA, IRPA and other international initiatives-getting a recognition at international level. ENA has set up working groups on NORM in the industry, in the environment, in building materials and, as recently as in 2021, a working group on decommissioning of NORM facilities. A series of webinars have been organized to present case studies on NORM decommissioning and discuss associated challenges and practical solutions. (© The Author(s) 2023.
