Compiling a programme

The German Society for Nondestructive Testing, DGZfP, is the organiser of the 2016 World Conference – WCNDT. The conference papers will communicate recent developments within individual NDT sectors in a wide range of industries and contribute to enhanced development of further applications. 

We have devised an entirely new approach to compiling the scientific and technical programme of this year's WCNDT

Our committees are grouped by applications instead of methods. Each member of the scientific subcommittees is asked to classify and rank submissions using online tools, which then aggregate the results of this ranking process and present them to the programme committee. 

 

The scientific committee

The scientific committee consists of the programme committee and the topic-specific subcommittees. The WCNDT president and vice presidents form the programme committee and are responsible for the final programme of the world conference. They define conference topics, select the members of the subcommittees, and promote conference and exhibition within their fields.

Topic-specific subcommittees

Topic-specific subcommittees will aid the programme committee by ranking and classifying each submission in an online review process. Their members are also encouraged to invite speakers to the conference.
