- From the 6th to the 9th of November 2016, in the meeting hall of Centro Nacional de Aceleradores(University of Seville, Seville, Spain) took place the “II International Conference onRadioecological Concentration Processes (50 years later)” under the joint organization of theUniversities of Seville (Spain) and Gothenburg (Sweden). With this event, the organization try tocommemorate the fifty years anniversary of the first Radioecological Concentration ProcessesConference hold in Stockholm, which is recognized as an extremely important event whichcontributed to the birth of the modern radioecology: In the pioneer 1966 conference, more than 100communications were presented and a good number of participants played afterwards an essentialrole in the development and growing of the radioecology as scientific discipline.The first conference had as a main motivation the dissemination of the radioecological studiesappearing at that time associated to the nuclear weapon tests performed by USA and the formerUSSR at the end of the 1950s or beginning of the 1960s. Since then, a lot of anthropogenicemissions of radioactivity (provoked or accidental) have occurred, being remarkable at the dates ofthis II edition the 30 years passed since the Chernobyl accident and the 5 years passed from theFukushima accident. In addition, the emergence of new analytical techniques has made possible toextend the radioecological studies to new radionuclides and environmental compartments.With this II edition of the Conference, the promotors have tried to obtain information about theactual status of the radioecology over the world, to evaluate the advances reached during the lastyears and to plan the development of some priority research lines to be followed along the first halfof the XXI century. Just thinking in the future of the radioecology, special efforts were devoted tostimulate the active participation, through presentation of communications, of young researchers.
