It is with great pleasure that we announce our international Conference hosted at ERTH Hotel in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) from 10 to 13 December 2024 (arrivals on 9 December 2024). The central theme of this Conference is:

We gratefully acknowledge the support and great hospitality of the Ministry of Defence of the United Arab Emirates in organizing this Conference. 

Together with the host country, will offer a highly interesting and diverse programme in Arabic and English (with simultaneous translation from Arabic to English and French, and from English to Arabic and French), featuring internationally renowned experts. Herewith you will find the outline of the Conference programme [available here], as well as the necessary Conference application form [available here]. The detailed Conference programme will be made available on our website in its most current version. It will also be sent to registered participants.

We advise you to take due notice of the reduced participation fee for members. The deadline for sending in completed and signed application forms is 4 November 2024. However, please note that places are limited and that we may have to close the registration process earlier.

This confirmation becomes final upon payment of the applicable registration form.

Registered participants are recommended to book their accommodation at ERTH Hotel, which offers discounted rates for bookings until 1 November 2024.
