NDT 2019
3-5 September 2019, The International Centre, Telford, UK
The 58th Annual British Conference on Non-Destructive Testing, took place from 3-5 September 2019 at The International Centre in Telford, UK.
There were three parallel technical sessions covering a broad range of NDT technologies and applications, as well as a social programme including a welcome buffet on the evening of 2 September and the BINDT Conference Dinner on the evening of 4 September.
Offers of papers were invited on all aspects of non-destructive testing.
Visit the first open showcase of RCNDE research at NDT 2019
The UK Research Centre in Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE) is an EPSRC and industry co-funded consortium of academic and industrial members focused on the inspection technology needs of the 21st century. The Centre has carried out world-leading research since 2003, for which it is known and respected globally.
RCNDE staged its first international ‘RCNDE Showcase’ event at NDT 2019, the Annual Conference of the British Institute of NDT, taking place 3-5 September 2019, at the International Centre, Telford, UK. The showcase comprised 30 presentations in Session A running continuously throughout the conference and presented research from the six university members and reports from industry about how the research has provided benefit.
The International Centre, Telford is a stand out venue, centrally located in the heart of the Midlands.
Set in one of
the
most industrious and yet stunning destinations, Shropshire – Telford is
the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the home of the UNESCO
world heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge.The new pedestrianised Convention Quarter, adjacent to The International Centre, comprises on-site hotels, bars, leisure, restaurants and retail, alongside an urban lake which connects seamlessly to the existing Telford Shopping Centre, the train station and major road routes.

Award for Attendance at BINDT Annual Conferences by a foreign delegate
The aim of this award is to encourage attendance at the BINDT annual conferences by contributors from foreign nations. The target group for this award is individuals from the profession of NDT who wish to attend the conferences by are unable to do so due to financial constraints. Applicants can range from individuals at an early career stage or be experienced contributors who are unable to attend because of restricted finance.
The award consists of a contribution towards travel, subsistence and conference fees. The amount will be typically up to £750 and a free full-time conference registration. The award will be paid after the conference on the presentation of suitable receipts directly to the conferences and events department.
