PATRAM 2028 Website Launch – Join the Journey to Liverpool

The World Nuclear Transport Institute (WNTI) and the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM) are pleased to announce that the official PATRAM 2028 website is now live.

The 22nd International Symposium on the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials (PATRAM 2028) will take place from 10–14 July 2028 at the Liverpool Event Campus (LEX), Liverpool, United Kingdom.

We invite you to join us as we begin the journey towards what promises to be another outstanding international symposium.

The PATRAM 2028 website will be the central source of information for delegates, authors, sponsors, exhibitors and partner organisations throughout the planning process. By joining our mailing list, you will receive updates on key milestones, including:

• Call for Papers
• Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities
• Delegate registration
• Programme announcements
• Technical visits and social events
• Other important symposium updates

If you would like to contribute to PATRAM 2028, we encourage you to register your interest using the link available on the website.

We look forward to welcoming the international PATRAM community to Liverpool in July 2028.

We look forward to seeing you in Liverpool.

Kind regards,

We are also pleased to announce a call for volunteers to support the planning and delivery of PATRAM 2028.

Applications are now invited for membership of the PATRAM 2028 Programme Committee, which will play a key role in shaping the technical programme. The Committee will oversee the development of the symposium themes, manage the Call for Papers, review abstracts, select oral and poster presentations, and help build a high-quality international programme. Programme Committee members will also act as Theme Leads, supported by an Extended Programme Committee responsible for reviewing submissions within their areas of expertise. 

We are seeking volunteers from across the international transport community, representing:

• Industry
• Regulators
• Government
• Research organisations
• Academia
• International organisations

We are particularly keen to build a committee that reflects the diversity of the global PATRAM community, welcoming applications from individuals across different countries, technical disciplines, career stages and backgrounds.

The WNTI Secretariat will review all expressions of interest, with successful applicants being notified during September 2026 ahead of the formal launch of the committees. The wider PATRAM planning structure will also include opportunities to contribute through the Organising Committee, Extended Programme Committee, Technical Visits Group, Awards Group and Social Events Group.
