2014年5月11日至15日,第二届全球华人辐射研究大会在苏州隆重召开。来自海内外的三百余位华人专家,还有多位美国、日本等国际放射医学权威专家与会。这次会议有力地促进了辐射研究及相关学科的交流与合作。一批在辐射研究领域享有盛誉的专家结合国际辐射研究方面的最新进展作了大会报告、主题报告或邀请报告。大会主题为:辐射研究的挑战与机遇。会议设了辐射生物学、辐射化学、放射诊断、放射治疗、辐射防护、辐射物理、辐射技术、辐射与交叉科学、辐射环境等9个分会。报告内容涵盖了放射生物学基础理论、辐射防护新方法、放射诊断新技术、放射治疗新进展、环境放射化学新成果,以及辐射研究与交叉学科的融合和创新。

我们高兴地看到,辐射研究在经过数十年的潮起潮落后,现正面临新的发展机遇。当前推动辐射研究的主要动力有:重大科学问题的探索、国家重大战略的需求、大健康产业的兴起,以及核能建设的推进。这四大动力正在赋予、并且必将继续推动辐射研究往纵深方向发展。我们可以预见,辐射研究在自身发展的同时,也将更好地造福于人类社会。

《中华放射医学与防护杂志》编辑部从近200篇的会议报告中征集了13篇优秀论文出版专刊,以飨读者,我谨表示衷心感谢和祝贺！并预祝我们为之奋斗终生的辐射研究领域登上新的高峰！

The 2^nd Global Chinese Congress on Radiation Research (GCCRR 2014) was held solemnly on May 11 to 15, 2014 in Suzhou city, Jiangsu province. More than three hundred Chinese experts from home and abroad attended the meeting, together with a number of Americans, Japanese and other foreign experts who are famous in the field of radiological medicine. No doubt, this congress will effectively promote the exchange and cooperation in the fields of radiation research and related disciplines. A large number of distinguished experts in the field of radiation research contributed the plenary, keynote or invited lectures to the congress with the emphasis on the latest progress of radiation research studies in the world. The congress theme is "Challenge and Opportunity of Radiation Research". The congress included nine topic sessions: radiobiology, radiation chemistry, diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy, radiation protection, radiation physics, radiation technology, radiation and interdisciplinary sciences, and radiation environment, focusing on fundamental theory, new methodology of radiation protection, latest technology in diagnostic radiology, recent advance in radiotherapy, new achievement of environmental radiochemistry, and integration and innovation of radiation research and interdisciplinary sciences.

We are delighted to see that the radiation research is facing new development opportunity after past decades of ebb and flow. The current development in radiation research is largely driven by the exploration of major scientific problems, the demands of national major strategy, the rising of big health industry, and the expansion of nuclear power. These are all promoting, and will continue to promote the development of radiation research in depth. We can foresee that the radiation research will also bring benefits to human society better in their own development.

The editorial board of Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection will publish 13 excellent papers selected from nearly 200 papers presented to the meeting. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and congratulations! And I wish the radiation research for which we have endeavored all our lifetime to aboard new heights!
