European Commission International Partnership (EC-INTPA) project
I have been appointed as the local host for a European Commission International Partnership (EC-INTPA) project, to organise two workshops in Kuala Lumpur in 3 - 6 October 2023 (https://training.ek-cer.hu/courses/#training ).
Working with Csilla Pesznyak, Eduardo and Borislava from
These courses were held in the framework of the European Instrument for International Nuclear Safety Cooperation (INSC) Training and Tutoring (T&T) Project MC3.01/20, which is a European Union (EU)-funded project that aims at assisting the National Nuclear Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Technical Support Organisations (TSOs) of non-EU countries in strengthening their capabilities in relation to their regulatory responsibilities and tasks.
The course consisted of 4 days of classroom lectures and two half-day technical visits supervised and accompanied by international and local experts.
These workshops welcome more than 50 international participants to the country, providing training for experts and professionals in Nuclear Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Technical Support Organizations (TSOs) on the regulation of radiation protection in medical applications and emergency preparedness and response. This collaboration with EC-INTPA will enhance the technical competency of participants locally and internationally while promoting economic growth and tourism in Malaysia.

AFOMP Meet the Expert series, Interview with Professor Ng Kwan Hoong
The AFOMP Meet the Expert Interview Series, started in 2023, aims to celebrate the contributions of our regional medical physicists. It is important to look back and draw inspiration, because the tireless efforts of every member contribute to the strength and success of any organisation or community.
Today, we are honoured to interview one of the Asia-Oceania Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (AFOMP) founding members, Emeritus Professor Dr Kwan Hoong Ng, for the AFOMP Meet the Expert Interview Series.

Breakfast@UMHealth – Medical Physics: From Curie to Cure – A Synergistic Effect
Medical physicists are healthcare professionals that carry out essential services within hospitals. However, not many know exactly who they are and what do they do. In this talk, we will be talking to three medical physicists who will describe some of the roles that medical physicists play in clinical work, teaching and research. We aim to build bridges between the medical physicists and the medical fraternity, from Curie to Cure, creating a synergistic effect towards increasing the impact of research projects and ultimately improving the lives of our patients.
