2 Dear distinguished guests, exhibitors, speakers, visitors, dear ladies and gentlemen, We are proud to welcome you at the NATO EOD Demonstrations and Trials 2014 and hope that your stay here will be useful as well as beneficial. The EOD Demonstrations and Trials series facilitates multinational cooperation on capabilities through the Defence against Terrorism Programme of Work (DAT POW) in support of Smart Defence initiative. The event sponsored by the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division offers a tangible and visual example of this cooperation at work, in addition to improving interoperability and offering an opportunity to see and test innovative technologies. Historically, explosives are weapons most frequently used against militaries and civilians by terrorist organizations and groups. Therefore, early detection of dangerous substances and their safe disposal is the most effective way to prevent these attacks. The main idea of the NATO EOD Demonstrations and Trials 2014 is New technologies - assistance and limitation of the EOD in post-isaf era as a challenge for EOD/IEDD experts, scientists, producers, industry and Subject Matters Experts involved in the fight against terrorism. As the EOD Demonstrations and Trials is open also to Partners countries, the event demonstrates the practical dimensions of partnerships. Once more, thank you for joining us and for your contribution to the NATO EOD Demonstrations and Trials Ľubomír MRVÁŇ Colonel, SVK Army Director, EOD Centre of Excellence
