On October 19th, 2013, the German and Swiss affiliates of the International  Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) invited physicians and scientists from the fields of radiobiology, epidemiology, statistics and physics to an expert meeting in the city of Ulm, the birthplace of Albert Einstein. The participants discussed current scientific
evidence relating to the health effects of ionising radiation, especially in the area of low-dose radiation. The group of experts concluded that a revision of existing radiation protection guidelines is essential in order to reflect the current level of scientific knowledge. This publication details their conclusions.
