The 8^th International Symposium on Technetium and Rhenium: Science and Utilization, will be held from September 29^th to October 3^rd 2014 in La Baule - Pornichet, France.

The 8^th ISTR aims at continuing 20 years of tradition on Technetium and Rhenium conferences and the symposium happen every 3 years. It was originally created in 1993 and has been successively held in 1993 (Sendai, Japan), 1996 (Moscow, Russia), 1999 (Shizuoka, Japan), 2002 (Dubna, Russia), 2005 (Oarai-Ibaraki, Japan), 2008 (Port-Elizabeth, South Africa) and 2011 (Moscow, Russia).

The aims of the 8^th ISTR is to cover all aspects of Technetium and Rhenium chemistry. The conference will be organized around plenary lectures (30-40 minutes), short lectures (15-20) minutes and poster sessions. The technical program will cover the following topics :

• Chemistry of Technetium in the nuclear fuel cycle (separation, disposal, waste form…)
• Technetium and Rhenium in nuclear medicine (isotopes production, labeling, coordination chemistry…)
• Radioanalytical chemistry (Measure of Tc an Re in biosphere…)
• Fundamental chemistry of Technetium and Rhenium (synthetic, materials and coordination chemistry, inorganic and organometallic complexes, properties...)
• Rhenium in the industry (mining, metallurgy, catalysis…)
