The ICRM working group for Low-Level Measurements Techniques (LLMT) examines techniques to enable the detection of ever smaller amounts of radioactivity. This enables, for example, collecting smaller samples and realising new applications involving radionuclides. The working group focuses on metrology and the latest developments in a variety of areas, including measurement of environmental radioactivity, radionuclides in food and drinking water, reference materials characterisation, tracer studies and nuclear physics research. Conference proceedings are published in refereed scientific journals.

The most recent ICRM — Low-Level Radioactivity Measurement Techniques Conference, ICRM-LLRMT 2022, was organized by the Low-Level Measurement Techniques Working Group (LLRMT) and hosted by the INFN-LNGS at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Assergi (Italy), 2–6 May 2022. The Conference Proceedings have been published in a special issue of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.

The next Conference will be organized in 2026.
