Abstract

This travel report summarises the author's impressions and observations from participation in a conference about personal protective (PPE) clothing held at Qinetiq, Farnborough, UK. Participation in the conference was a planned activity in the scanning project SoldatensIPE@2020 and Signaturanpassning soldat. The author gave an oral presentation and a poster presentation. The conference theme was materials science & technology and design of PPE, with a clear emphasis on PPE for military personnel and 1st responders. The latter was particularly relevant in the light of a planned application to FP7-SEC 2013 (Protective clothing for 1st responders)
