NAWG-18 workshop venue, University of Manchester, UK
In association with the University of Manchester and Prof Simon Norris (Nuclear Waste Services, UK), NAWG (Natural Analogue Working Group) is pleased to announce that the 18th NAWG workshop will be held in Manchester, UK, on 10-13th June, 2025.
The NAWG-18 workshop will be an opportunity to explore recent developments in the use of natural analogues (NA) in supporting safety cases (SC) for the disposal of radioactive wastes. Argumentation by use of analogy is well established in many fields including philosophy, biology, linguistics and law and most scientists are familiar with this approach and will have used it at some point in their career. If you are keen to learn more, why not come along?
To express interest in attending the workshop and to reserve one of the limited number of rooms in the workshop hotel, please submit a registration form (link to be added) by Wednesday, 30th April 2025). Alternatively, to simply join the workshop on a session-by-session basis, please contact Russell before Friday, 16th May 2025.
Deadline for submission of extended abstracts is 23rd May (to be made openly available on the NAWG-18 page of the NAWG web site) and for full papers is 30th June (open Journal Special Publication), full details will be provided on both at a later date. Please note that as the entire point of the workshop is to communicate with a wider audience, pdf copies of all presentations will also be made openly available on the NAWG-18 web page immediately after the conclusion of the workshop.
