The article presents findings of scientific research of the project RAMESIS in the frame of Security research supported by the Czech Ministry of interior „Radiation Monitoring Network for institutions and schools to assure early awareness and enhancing safety of citizens“ – shared project of SURO&UTEF&NUVIA, aimed at improvement safety of population through introducing of radiation monitoring system at level of institutions, schools and citizens in accordance with current international trends. Project covers design and development of detectors and of central application for receipt, storage, administration and publication of monitoring results on webpages. System will be widely implemented at selected institutions and schools, including training and informational materials for understanding radiation problems, resulting into increasing and intensifying of ability for early detection of radioactive material presence through monitoring of dose-rate using high-density network of both fixed-station and mobile monitoring, leading to increase of the level of awareness of general public in the field of radiation protection.
