The tenth anniversary of
the
________________________________________________________________________________ A. Objective:Bring together the CBMTS professionals most concerned with and directly involved in the scientific and technical aspects of problems associated with the CBR threat to include all actions associated with CBR agent, agrichemical, agrochemical and industrial poisonings. These problems include medical treatment (prophylaxis, pre-treatment and therapy) required for CB agent, agrichemical and industrial poisonings; emergency management required for accidents and incidents; and operational issues from across the response spectrum. Contributions of papers and posters from each research and operational area are solicited. The CBMTS V is also very pleased to continue with its original efforts of many years on the topic of chemical and biological terrorism and anti-terrorism matters. B. Symposium Model:To ensure the free flow of ideas, the CBMTS V will again use the Gordon Research Conference approach in the conduct of the Symposium. We expect this conference to continue with the CBMTS tradition of a relaxed shirt-sleeve environment, a first name basis in very short order, and as always a very enjoyable camaraderie between all participants; professionals from well over 30 countries. C. Who Should Attend?Industry, government and academic professionals with an interest in the chemical, biological, and radiological threat, whether the threat is from war, terrorist actions or accidents and incidents, natural or man-made. Medical, public health and medical research professionals, including primary care physicians, practitioners and veterinarians; Local, regional and national laboratory representatives; first responders and HAZMAT specialists, including emergency, crisis management and mitigation, and civil defense personnel; industry scientists and engineers; and specialists in computer risk modeling and planning, training and local community interface. D. Call for papers/topic and theme areasPapers could cover any one or a
combination of the listed topic areas and sub-areas as
well as areas not listed. For ‘non-listed’
areas, the author should show how the subject does fit
with the theme of the CBMTS V. Please consider the
theoretical as well as the practical and the scientific
and operational in problem definition, preparation and
response. The importance of local, national, regional,
and international preparation and response will be of the
highest interest to all professionals attending the CBMTS

- The excursion includes the Tr¸mmelbach Waterfalls and its ten glacial water falls inside the mountain. Made accessible by tunnel lift, the Tr¸mmelbach waterfalls are truly unique in Europe. Tr¸mmelbach alone drains the enormous glacial walls of the Eiger (3970 m), M–nch (4099 m) and Jungfrau (4158 m) with up to a spectacular 20,000 litres of water per second. This stems from a catchment area of 24 square kilometers of which approximately half is covered with snow and ice. After this excursion and if possible, we will have a boat ride on Lake Brenz to include the farewell dinner.
Note: There is a CHF 50 fee per each
accompanying person for the Excursion and Farewell

T. Fellowships:
Assistance for individuals to attend CBMTS V. Limited support of professionals from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The requirements for fellowship consideration are that the individual submit a paper to be presented at the CBMTS V and that paper be approved by the Science Review Committee. The goal for the CBMTS Organizing Committees is to be able to provide: Registration Fee, Accommodations and return fare to Zurich or Geneva and train to Spiez. Recognizing that available funds for Fellowships will be limited, the CBMTS Organizing Committee will more favorably consider specific requests for lesser amounts from individuals wishing to attend.
