ANGLICKÉ 15 – 17 October 2014, Prague, Czech Republic Under the Auspices of: In cooperation with: Specialized Partners: CALL for PAPERS Technical Partners: Endorsed by: Partner: Open NATO CBRN Workshop 16 – 17 October 2014 Motto: “Scientific results Under the Auspices of: cannot be used efficiently by soldiers who have no understanding of them, and scientists cannot produce results useful for warfare without an understanding of the operations.” Theodore von Kármán (1881-1963) In cooperation with: Specialized Partners: Technical Partners: While international security and stability are today challenged by a multitude of phenomena, nation-state efforts to develop or acquire WMD and their delivery systems still constitute one of major threat to the worldwide security, deployed troops, and allies. Traditionally, international agreements and diplomacy have deterred most nation-states from acquiring biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, but these constraints may be less effective in preventing terrorist groups from doing so. The time when only a few states had access to the most dangerous technologies is past. Biological and chemical material and technologies, almost always dual-use, move easily in globalized economy, as do the personnel with scientific expertise to design and use them. The latest discoveries in the life sciences also diffuse globally and rapidly. CBRN threat requires swift and coordinated response from multiple agencies and synergy among all stakeholders. Management of response to such incidents has assumed critical importance and requires specialized training and dedicated equipment. The OPEN NATO CBRN Workshop will provide a unique forum for the exchange of CBRN information and ideas among CBRN defence policy makers, doctrine thinkers, incident responders, technology developers, acquisition professionals, and the supporting defence industry. This exchange will focus on the better understanding and increased responsiveness to CBRN user’s needs. Selected speakers from CBRN defence stakeholder organizations and agencies worldwide will discuss current issues and future direction. The exhibition will showcase the broad array of CBRN defence equipment and technologies. Our goals for OPEN NATO CBRN Workshop and exhibition are simple, but bold: to raise an awareness and participation of the diverse joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multinational industry, and academia interest of the CBRN defence community, to promote greater participation in global CBRN defence dialogue and ultimately leverage CBRN community to provide the best support possible to current operations and soldiers.
