Connecting The CBRNe Community

The Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands’ National Training Center (NTC), was home to the 35th edition of the NCT event series, NCT Europe 2018. The three-day event was organized by the CBRNe Society and IB Consultancy in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Defense.

Once again, the CBRNe Society welcomed close to 300 new and loyal delegates, speakers, and exhibitors from Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Asia, and South America. All the delegates had the opportunity to join discussions and networking groups to improve international CBRNe defense and response and contribute to global security.

Multinational Training and Live Demonstrations 

NCT Europe introduced an innovative feature: NCT Pro Trainings. Teams from different countries and units were matched to work together on solving CBRNe, and C-IED/EOD scenarios. 

Alongside multinational training, and following the NCT tradition, NCT Europe 2018 also hosted daily live demonstrations under the Dutch Ministry of Defense's direction in the CBRN, C-IED, and EOD fields. 

NCT Europe 2018 Conferences and Workshops 

NCT Europe welcomed a panel of very high-level speakers who led discussions on a variety of topics ranging from CBRNe to EOD topics. The conference stream was chaired by Brig. Gen. (ret.) William King, former Commander of the US Army 20th CBRNE Command.
