CBRNe Call for papers


Last year’s Call for Papers saw us receive over 60 different individuals respond, some with more than one paper. We now have our Call for Papers for CBRNe Convergence 2017, papers can be considered for one or all categories. Speaking slots will be 20 minutes and if accepted include a poster. A speaking slot also means the paper has been accepted for publication within CBRNe World.


Assessment & Topics: This is an open call so any paper justifiably relevant to CBRNE or hazmat will be considered. The closing date for submissions 31st July 2017.


Financial Support: Speakers will receive free entry and accommodation for the duration of the conference and workshops. Poster submissions will receive a 20% discount off government delegate rates. The abstract should be 250-500 words long and include the following: Background (purpose/objective/ rationale of the research, relationship to other areas if any); Methods; Preliminary results; Preliminary conclusion; Potential impact to mission/warfighter (if known). Submissions will be assessed by a panel drawn from scientists and first responders.


Equal weighting will be given to scientific merit and benefit to practitioners. The panel includes leading scientists and first responders, so all the papers will be judged to be both practical and understandable. This is an open call so any paper justifiably relevant to CBRNE or hazmat will be considered. For more information please contact Gwyn Winfield via gwyn.winfield@cbrneworld.com
