The 14^thIWORID provides an international forum for discussing current research and development in the area of position sensitive detectors for radiation imaging, including semiconductor detectors, gas- and scintillator-based detectors and applications.

The event will take place from 1 to 5 of July, 2012 in Figueira da Foz, 40 km from Coimbra, Portugal.
