DEAR COLLEAGUES!

The XXIV All-Russian Scientific and Technical Conference on Non-Destructive Testing and Technical Diagnostics will be held in Moscow from May 13 to 15. The conference will be held in parallel with the XIII International Industrial Forum "NDT Territory 2026" at the Izmailovo Beta Congress Center.

Traditionally, every three years, the conference becomes a professional platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience of Russian and foreign scientists and practitioners.

The motto "Non-destructive testing of the 21st century: the synergy of technology and reason" reflects the key directions of the conference formulated by the program committee:

- prospects for the development of NDT methods and technologies for the production of new materials and products;

- artificial neural networks and artificial intelligence;

- interactive systems and complexes of CM and TD on in the light of modern trends in the development and operation of smart technological processes and productions;

- modeling of NDT tools and signal processing processes, obtaining primary information and allocating primary informative parameters, verification and validation;

- CM and TD on at all stages of the life cycle of infrastructure facilities and distributed production systems, as well as their technical diagnostics with a risk-based approach;

- the transition from automated to automated NDT based on modern robotic complexes and cyber-physical systems;

- standardization and metrological support of NDT, CM, TD.;

- training and certification of NDT and TD specialists, taking into account the prospects for the introduction of INS and AI into NDT and CM devices and complexes.

A number of panel discussions will be held on methodological issues of NDT digitalization, medicine, life support and the human environment as a field of NDT and CM.

Invited lecturers from leading industry research institutes, government corporations and ministries, manufacturers of NDT equipment and technologies will make plenary presentations at the opening of the conference and within the framework of sections. They will share their thoughts on ways to develop non-destructive testing as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge and practical application of research and development results.

The XIII International Forum "NDT Territory", held in parallel with the Conference, is a key event for specialists and experts in the CIS. The exhibition will feature advanced equipment and technologies for the use of NDT, CM, and TD. As part of the business program of the Forum, the final stage of the "Defectoscopist 2026" competition, a Youth scientific and technical conference, an Innovation Salon will be held, National prizes in the field of NDT and CM on will be awarded, and the winners of the "New Generation" graduate qualification competition of specialized university departments will be awarded. The industry sections will review the practical results of the implementation of scientific and technical developments at leading high-tech enterprises in our country and abroad, assess their level and trends in the development of NDT and CM equipment and techniques.

The new format of events in a modern hotel complex will allow you to optimize your time, conduct business negotiations and simply communicate with colleagues in a comfortable atmosphere.

We are waiting for your reports and hope that the conference will bring everyone new knowledge and pleasant meetings.
