About The Miller Trust

The Miller Trust for Radiation Chemistry is an international society registered as a charity in the United Kingdom (registration # 802533) that was organised by former colleagues and friends of the late Dr. Nicholas Miller. The objects of the Trust are the advancement of public education concerning the chemical effects of radiation, in particular by holding conferences known as ‘The Miller Conferences’ in the UK and other countries in Europe, in the general subject area of radiation chemistry

Miller Conferences have been held at two-year intervals since 1959 (with the exception of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and have provided a European equivalent of the past Gordon Research Conferences on Radiation Chemistry, and now the International Conference on Ionizing Processes (ICIP).

All attendees of the most recent Miller Conference are members of the Miller Trust, which is managed by a committee of twelve members elected from the Trust.

The current members of the Miller Trust Committee are:
