Vision

The major International Seminar for early career researchers in the field of energetic materials

Mission statement

NTREM is an international meeting of students and early career researchers who are involved in the fundamental understanding, development, technology, industry or application of energetic materials. The seminar enables the presentation of research and allows feedback and interaction with senior, well established experts in the field. In addition, participants will meet and form networks enabling them to communicate amongst each other. It is expected that the seminar will help career progression. The Seminar is intended to provide a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere where exchange of professional experiences goes along with building of strong personal relations among young specialists working in the field of EM.

Topical areas

The overall topic, as indicated by the title, is "New Trends in Research on Energetic Materials." The term "New" should be understood as referring to findings and developments that are not trivially known within our community. Research results from the last five years are of particular interest to the audience. Please note that submitted contributions should not be copies of already published articles; however, they may summarize or expand upon previously published work.

The main focus of the seminar is the science and technology of energetic materials. Typically, papers include new or improved synthetic routes, chemical analyses, formulations, or production methods for these materials. Papers or other areas such as addressing sensitivity, stability, environmental management, and performance testing are also welcome as are papers on numerical modelling at all levels. The papers should provide further insights into the behaviour and characteristics of energetic materials.

The topics listed below are intended as inspiration; however, if your abstract falls within the broader area of interest, please do not hesitate to submit it.

Synthesis	Formulation	Production
Chemical properties	Physical properties	Performance testing
Thermal analysis	Sensitivity	Stability
Aging	Life cycle	Green alternatives
Environmental aspects	Forensics	Improvised explosives
Numerical simulations	Computational chemistry	AI
Test methods	Blast effects	Safety engineering

Language

The official language of seminar is English. All contributions and communication shall be presented and written exclusively in the English language.
