The first topical Workshop on "Radiation Hardness Measurement, Testing and Materials" – RadHard2010 - will be held from 16 to 18 March 2010, in Lisboa, at “Instituto Superior Técnico”, the largest Portuguese engineering school (www.ist.utl.pt). The RadHard2010, sponsored by the EIROforum Instrumentation Working Group, is organized by “Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear” (IPFN) (www.ipfn.ist.utl.pt), the leading research unit of Association EURATOM-IST, on behalf of EFDA-JET.

The exposure to radiation and its impact on performance and operability of the experimental equipment is a common aspect which congregates the challenges faced by most of the EIROforum members.  The main purpose of the workshop is bringing the various experts together from all EIRO's and allowing for exchange between them on methodologies and experiences in this specific field, and providing some seeds for future cooperation. Based on the presentations and discussions, opportunities for future collaborations will be explored.
