International Dialogue on Underwater Munitions
Munitions are found in every ocean and sea of the world and they are in many of our fresh water lakes, rivers and streams.
In addition to keynote session, panels and scientific presentations, this global forum for underwater munitions exchange will address the topics of underwater technology and best practices; assessments of underwater sites and updates on progress and findings; and research from academia and policy experts on information directly relevant to underwater science and the future. An integral component of the Dialogue will be a series of private meetings where political and executive international leaders may meet to discuss areas of common interest and concern and to work toward resolutions. Our intention is to have an appreciative dialogue where we can reach positive out comes through collaborative consultation.
We hope you will join us and invite you to register for this important International Dialogue on Underwater Munitions.

The focus will be on the Baltic and North Sea regions for the abstracts and should be no longer than 300 words that emphasises the following topics for poster or presentation: underwater munitions assessment projects, lessons learned and known outcomes; underwater munitions assessment program overviews; research projects or updates relevant to underwater munitions; historical information or policy-oriented developments/updates and recent technology updates or technical developments in underwater munitions.
Accepted abstracts will be developed for presentation at the outset of the Dialogue to provide context to the collaborative international discussions to follow.
