Speaker, poster or publication Papers can be considered for one or all categories. Speaking slots will be 20 minutes and if accepted include a poster. The Open Call section will be on the afternoon of the second day and will culminate in the poster sessions break - posters will be on presentation for the duration of the conference. A speaking slot also means the paper has been accepted for publication within CBRNe World. Assessment & Topics 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.
