The CTBT: Science and Technology 2015 Conference (SnT2015) took place from 22 to 26 June 2015 at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. It was the fifth in a series of multidisciplinary conferences designed to further enhance the strong relationship between the scientific and technological community and the CTBTO. See website story on the opening day and summary.
 
The conference series provides a forum for scientists from around the world to exchange knowledge and share advances in monitoring and verification technologies of relevance to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Such interaction helps ensure that the Treaty’s global verification regime remains at the forefront of scientific and technical innovation. 

With nearly 1110 registered participants and over 550 abstracts, SnT2015 is the largest such conference to date.
