Welcome to Nuclear & Space Radiation Effects Conference
The Westin Ottawa with the adjoining Shaw Centre is the location for NSREC 2021. Ottawa is Canada’s capital, a dynamic showcase city of more than one million people. Located in Ontario at the Quebec border, it’s a place where you’ll hear English and French spoken in the streets; where you can discover Canada’s proud heritage at impressive national sites and famous landmarks, including the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a city steeped in culture, with world-class museums and galleries displaying stunning national collections and special exhibitions from Canada and around the world.

This city is a uniquely beautiful place: an urban centre on the edge of nature where you can enjoy the great outdoors either just outside your hotel room or nearby in the surrounding countryside. There’s an easy cosmopolitan vibe here, and Ottawa is known for being both welcoming and walkable. Explore the distinctive local neighborhoods, including the historic ByWard Market: by day this area boasts a bustling farmers’ market and chic shops, by night it hums with activity at the restaurants, pubs, and nightclubs.

This is also a city that enjoys the finer things in life, with a culinary community that’s earning wide acclaim, unique boutiques and shopping districts, a lively local music and art scene, and always exciting nightlife. The Westin Ottawa is ideally located right downtown, mere steps away from the historic sites and landmarks, and only a short drive from Ottawa’s international airport.

This is Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Please join us for NSREC 2021 and experience it for yourself.

We will offer an excellent Technical program described below:

Paper Summary Deadline: February 5, 2021
You are cordially invited to attend the 2021 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference to be held July 19-23, 2021 at the Shaw Centre, in Ottawa, Canada. The conference features a technical program consisting of eight to ten technical sessions of contributed papers describing the latest observations in radiation effects, a Short Course on radiation effects issues with current relevance offered on July 19, a Radiation Effects Data Workshop, and an Industrial Exhibit. The technical program includes oral and poster sessions.

Papers on nuclear and space radiation effects on electronic and photonic materials, devices, circuits, sensors and systems, as well as semiconductor processing technology and design techniques for producing radiation-tolerant (hardened) devices and integrated circuits, will be presented at this meeting of engineers, scientists and managers. International participation is strongly encouraged. We are soliciting papers describing significant new findings in the following or related areas:
