Associated Technical <strong>Events</strong><br />

Major Topics<br />

The ICEM’03 Technical <strong>Programme</strong> is divided into 56 technical sessions<br />

conducted over three and one half days. A listing of the specific sessions within<br />

each of the five technical programme tracks can be found in the “<strong>Programme</strong> at<br />

a Glance” Section.<br />

Participating Attendees<br />

Over 300 abstracts were accepted from over 40 countries. This includes<br />

technical papers from Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, the Far and<br />

Middle East, and from North and South America. This strong technical<br />

programme is expected to draw more than 600 scientists, engineers, managers,<br />

project directors, utility and other business representatives, equipment vendors,<br />

and government officials from around the world.<br />

The traditionally strong participation from countries with mature environmental<br />

programmes will be supplemented by a contingent of attendees from Central and<br />

Eastern Europe as well as by key representatives from other countries from around<br />

the world with emerging programmes. In the past, the ICEM meetings have<br />

allowed participants to exchange technical information, discover solutions to<br />

problems, and make valuable business contacts or even arrange business<br />

Opening Session at Town Hall<br />

The opening session will be held at 9:30 at the Town Hall. It is a 5-minute walk<br />

from the Examination Schools. Coffee will be served from 9:00 until the<br />

programme begins. The Welcome speakers and four key-note speakers are:<br />

• Councillor Patrick Stannard, The Lord Mayor of Oxford<br />

• Sir John Harman, Chairman of the Environment Agency (UK)<br />

• Dr. John Garrick, Chairman of the U.S. NRC Advisory Committee on<br />

Nuclear Waste, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USA)<br />

• Chris Murray, Managing Director, UK Nirex, Ltd. (UK)<br />

• Lynne Smith, EM Headquarters WIPP Office Director, U.S.<br />

Department of Energy (USA)<br />

Poster Sessions<br />

The conference technical programme will contain two major Poster Sessions, on<br />

Tuesday and Wednesday, arranged from the five Tracks. The leading objective<br />

for organising poster sessions was that experts in the field and interested<br />

attendees could gather for a half day in a meeting room where they can move<br />

around freely and engage discussions which would normally not be possible<br />

during the oral sessions. The extension into the luncheon will give the meeting a<br />

social flavour, giving the authors further opportunity to leave their posters and<br />

socialise with their colleagues in the field.<br />
