Editorial Note
The environmental and health consequences of war are scientifically complex and socially sensitive. The conference encourages media coverage that distinguishes between confirmed evidence, plausible mechanisms, open research questions, preliminary findings, methodological uncertainty, and areas requiring further investigation.
This is especially important when reporting on contamination, exposure pathways, disease links, long-term health risks, sensitive territories, vulnerable communities, unpublished research, or expert discussions held during the conference.
The purpose of this page is to support accurate, responsible, and evidence-based public communication.
For Journalists
Journalists, editors, documentary teams, science communicators, photographers, video journalists, media producers, and institutional communication officers may request media accreditation for the conference.
Approved media representatives may receive access to selected sessions, official press materials, interview opportunities, public or media-accessible presentations, and selected online or on-site formats, depending on the conditions confirmed by the organizers.
Media accreditation does not automatically provide access to all sessions, recordings, closed working discussions, unpublished data, participant-only materials, or restricted conference content.
For media access conditions, interview coordination, photography, filming, recording, livestreaming, or quotation requests, please contact the conference organizers in advance.
