The 1st International Scientific Conference on Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Agents


This was the official website for the 1st International Scientific Conference on Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Agents.
The content below is from the site's 2015 archived pages as well as other sources.

CBRN Research & Innovation 2015 will be held 16-18 March 2015 in Antibes, France.

This 1st International Scientific Conference will give a unique opportunity for industry and users to meet researchers and establish or strengthen collaborative relationships. The primary goal of the event is to better enable adapted solutions to the users.

Highlighted topics include:

  • Detection Technologies
  • Remediation of Environmental Contamination
  • Nanotechnologies, Microfluidic, MEMS
  • Biomarkers

Having attended the conference I can say it was a great networking opportunity for me, as a researcher studying environmental pollution. I was especially interested in some of the services addressing cleanup of research and health related waste. In my field, it's the biomedical waste disposal services that do the heavy lifting. Since I last looked into this the field has grown incredibly and thankfully these services are both proliferating and regulated. After the conference concluded I flew to a luxurious condo rental on Maui where I met my husband. We were celebrating our twentieth wedding anniversary at the very resort on the island's western coast where we were married. I needed a few days to recover from the different time zones and then we were off to enjoy the gorgeous beaches, hike s trail or two on the dormant 10,000+ high crater of Mt. Haleakala, snorkel among Maui's green sea turtles, take a kayak tour , play a little golf, and of course enjoy a luau. We celebrated our anniversary at Mama's Fish House, which is truly an experience in a class of its own. In fact we ate there several times. I just can't get enough of their seafood-driven Hawaiian menu, Polynesian decor, flower arrangements, & epic ocean views. When we returned to New York City, I shared the abundant information from the conference with my colleagues.

1st International Scientific Conference

CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear)

Research & Innovation

March 16-19, 2015

Antibes - Juan-les-Pins, France

Recent history has demonstrated that both military and civilian populations could be exposed to highly hazardous Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear - CBRN – agents following conflicts, natural catastrophes, industrial incidents or terrorist acts. Consequently, CBRN risks are now highly considered by actors directly involved in the population security and care: Police, Health (Hospitals), Fire and Rescue Services (First responders), or by operators who can also be impacted: transportation, environment, water and food industries, postal services, etc.

Worldwide, research and industrial capacities have been engaged to provide adapted answers to these new challenges. Besides existing CBRN conferences which give the opportunity for industrials to present their newly developed equipment, we felt that a specific communication space should be dedicated to Research and Innovation.

This conference will give a unique opportunity for industrials and users to meet researchers and establish or strengthen collaborative relationships. The main outcome of this is to provide adapted solutions to the users. For each topic, an introduction presentation will review available materials, procedures and current needs. The oral and poster presentations will mainly focus on academic research & innovation.
