Advanced reasearch Workshop
NATO SPS organized an “Advanced Research Workshop on Explosive Detection” event on 17-18 October 2018 at venue of the University of Florence, Italy. The aim of the event was to give platform and possibilities for the different scientists and researchers to present the status of their ongoing projects research development, sponsored by NATO SPS. Alternative objectives were to discuss the gained outcomes and look beyond the current situation, and look for the new trends and innovative solutions. Representatives from the NATO C-IED COE were also invited to this event for giving an insight view about the NATO SPS sponsored Defence Capacity Building (DCB) initiatives. This subject was unique in this forum because none of the other briefing talked such a military, security issues. Attending this event was important for C-IED COE, due to it was a possibility for the Center not only presenting the C-IED DCB activities but also promoting the COE and for establishing relationship with possible future collaborators, researchers and scientists. The workshop was very fruitful, the C-IED COE presentation was well received and some possible future cooperation might be foreseeable.
