The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) relies on innovation to enhance the capabilities of the Treaty’s verification regime as well as to help move the Treaty closer to universalization and entry into force. As the seventh event in the CTBT: Science and Technology conference series, SnT2023 will bring together well over 1000 scientists, technologists, academics, students and representatives of the CTBTO’s policy making organs. In addition, representatives from the fields of research and development, science diplomacy, science advisory, media and advocacy are invited to attend the conference.

SnT2023 is scheduled to take place at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, featuring virtual components for active online participation to support broader outreach and global inclusiveness. While restrictions on physical attendance at SnT2023 due to COVID-19 are not currently foreseen, the structure of the conference  will be hybrid and will remain flexible in order to adapt to any circumstances as needed.

Participants interested in participating and presenting at the SnT2023 are invited to register and submit abstracts of proposed contributions through the SnT2023 Conference portal
https://ctbto.org/SnT2023. No registration fee will be charged. While authors can indicate their preference for an oral or e-poster presentation, the final choice will be made by the Scientific
Programme Group. By submitting an abstract, authors implicitly agree to the publication of their abstract and presentation materials by the Secretariat. Accepted abstracts will be made available on the SnT2023 Conference portal. The deadline for abstract submissions is 30 November 2022. The same deadline applies for registrations and abstract submissions requesting financial support.
