The Call for Papers for the 8th International Symposium on Tunnel Safety and Security (ISTSS 2018) is open. The symposium will be held at the Textile Fashion Center in Borås, Sweden, 14 - 16 March 2018.

This event will bring together expertise in the field of tunnel safety and security for 3 days of presentations and exhibits. The previous symposium in Montreal, Canada in March 2016 was a great success with more than 225 delegates.

ISTSS hope that you are interested in taking part in ISTSS 2018 and welcome you to submit a manuscript or poster for presentation. Manuscripts and posters will be reviewed on the basis of an extended abstract of at least one full page and not more than two pages. The abstract should be informative and contain a brief description of the background of the work, the work itself and include at least indicative results.

Manuscript abstracts should be submitted to the Secretariat by email - istss@ri.se by 5th May 2017, poster abstracts by the 1st September 2017.

ISTSS has a cooperation with the scientific journal Fire Safety Journal and some selected papers will be suggested to be included in a special issue.

Please note that in addition to scientific quality, a new optional abstract quality criteria has been added for ISTSS 2018: Best practice or future challenges (e.g. engineering case studies or emerging trends).
