CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS (SS)
To meet the high demand from participants, it is once again possible to submit a proposal for a Special Session on a specific vertical topic of NDT.
Please make sure to propose new topics, avoiding overlaps with already published Special Sessions.
Carefully read their descriptions in the available PDF files listed below.
All experts with experience in organizing scientific meetings are invited to propose Special Sessions (SS) on specific themes of NDT.
The proposals will be evaluated from the Scientific Committee. Only the selected SS with at least 6 accepted papers will be activated in the ECNDT2026.
The Organizers of the accepted Special Sessions will chair them in ECNDT2026.
