FMR-2017 is a scientific meeting traditionally organized in France (Saint Etienne in 2010 and 2011, Nice in 2012, Lannion in 2013, Lille in 2014, Orsay in 2015 and ANDRA in Paris in 2016) and will be organized in Belgium for the first time of its history. This 8th meeting will bring together manufacturers, researchers of public and private organizations, to discuss the definition of optical characteristics (composition, opto-geometric parameters, treatments, ...) of optical fibers and sensors intended to function under ionizing radiation.

The organization of this scientific meeting in Belgium will be a good opportunity for researchers from our universities and research centers to exchange their know-how with their French colleagues.

The theme of this scientific meeting encompasses passive or active optical fibers, fiber-based systems and components (FBG, amplifiers, lasers, ...) and fiber sensors in civil, military, medical, spatial, or nuclear nuclear environments. Storage of radioactive waste and nuclear waste in major scientific infrastructures are alos covered.
