The EUTERP project can be considered as a follow-up of two earlier projects, namely a survey of the status of the Radiation Protection Experts in the Member and Candidate States of the European Union, carried out in 2002, and a feasibility study for a work programme and structure of the EUTERP Platform, carried out in 2004. Both projects recommended the establishment of the EUTERP Platform to address a number of issues related to education, training, recognition and mutual acceptance of Radiation Protection Experts.
