The 5th International Symposium on Development of CBRN Protection Capabilities is planned to be held in Berlin from 18 to 20 October 2027.
As in previous years, Germany will once again provide a professional platform for encounters and exchange of the international CBRN protection community. International experts will inform representatives from the fields of politics, administration, industry, academia, civilian and military organisations about latest developments in security policy and provide an up-to-date risk assessment with a view to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear risks and the challenges they represent for military and civilian systems when it comes to hazard prevention. The list of international participants clearly indicates that protecting against the effects and impact of CBRN dangers is a top priority around the globe. As a result, CBRN continues to be in the focus when it comes to improving preventive security measures.
The repeated use of chemical weapons in conflict areas, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, last but not least, the international community's growing concern of the threat of nuclear terrorism and nuclear safety in the light of the advancing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are proof that CBRN protection within national and international security architectures remains relevant. In addition to the analysis of latest security developments, a special focus will be on presenting current conceptual foundations to meet the requirements of modern CBRN protection. Representatives from competent ministries and government authorities will explain the guidelines for the further development of CBRN protection.
Details of the event and the call for papers are currently being finalised and will be published here as soon as they are available
