Science and Technology Conferences [SnT]

With over 1,100 scientists, technologists, policymakers, diplomats, academics, students, journalists and others from nearly 100 countries, the CTBT: Science and Technology 2019 Conference (SnT2019), held at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna from 24-28 June 2019, was the largest of its kind to date. SnT2019 was the fifth in the flagship series of biennial, multidisciplinary conferences, designed to further reinforce the strong relationship between the scientific and technological community and the CTBTO. As well as the core technical agenda of presentations, discussions and a scientific poster competition, SnT2019 included a strong element of youth engagement. The conference also featured a number of brand new elements, including round-table discussions in Spanish and French and a special evening panel session on Women in Science and Technology. Other highlights included discussions on the challenges of communicating science to wider audiences, on artificial intelligence, and on how CTBT data can contribute to civil applications such as studying climate change and mitigating disaster risks.
