This year's safe^ND will once again be supported by a scientific committee of nationally and internationally renowned experts and researchers. The members of the committee cover a wide range of disciplines, from the natural sciences to the social sciences and the humanities, thus reflecting the multidisciplinary orientation of safe^ND. The committee will review all submitted abstracts, make recommendations for acceptance, and assign these submissions to appropriate formats (e.g. oral presentation or poster) to ensure the high scientific quality of the conference.
