The event will take place May 7-9 at Scotland’s Edinburgh International Conference Centre It will provide an opportunity to share best practices, discuss past experiences and highlight the latest developments to minimize the risks.

The organizers have also announced a call for papers covering 18 themes including legislation, plant layout and environmental protection. Abstracts should be submitted by Oct. 7. This year, there is also the opportunity to host a workshop on day one of the event.
