We look forward to welcoming you to the Blast Injury Conference 2026 on 29 and 30 June at the South Kensington Campus of Imperial College London!
Our exciting programme will include keynote speeches, research talks and panel debates from international experts.
The Conflict and Blast Injury Conference aims to provide an international forum for discussing advances in best practices of pathophysiology, prevention, management, and recovery of blast and conflict-related injuries.
Previous editions have highlighted the need for integrated, patient-centred approaches that bridge clinical care, rehabilitation, technology, policy, and resilient health systems, particularly in settings affected by conflict, instability, or resource scarcity.
Abstract submission for the conference will open on Monday 12th January 2026.
Registration will also open in early 2026.
As a scientific conference, our mission is to enable open and free discussion on the impact of war on the health of those involved, most specifically blast and conflict injury. We understand that tensions and opinions relating to the current conflicts around the world may affect how we talk about this subject, but these conflicts also highlight the importance and timeliness of the work that we are doing. We ask all participants to respect the scientific integrity of the conference by keeping any commentary on geopolitical events out of presentations and discussions at the conference.
The programme aims to bring together healthcare professionals, engineers, humanitarian actors, defence experts, policymakers, and researchers to share knowledge, exchange practical solutions, and foster meaningful collaborations that directly improve protection from injury, casualty care, and patient outcomes.
