Dear NDT Community,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 1st International (Online) Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (ICNDT 2026), which will be held online from 1 to 3 July 2026.

The theme of this conference is "NDT for Digital Transformation, Diagnostics, and Preservation." We aim to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and industrial experts to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of non-destructive testing. It will provide an interdisciplinary platform for presenting and discussing the most recent innovations, trends, and challenges encountered, as well as solutions adopted in the field.

We anticipate stimulating discussions on a range of topics, including, but not limited, to the following:

S1. Digitalization of NDT Data: Exploring advancements in data acquisition, management, and analysis, including big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in NDT.

S2. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for NDT: Focusing on the application of AI and ML techniques for automated detection, characterization, and predictive maintenance.

S3. Advanced Sensing Technologies: Covering innovations in NDT sensors, including novel materials, micro- and nano-sensors, and smart sensors.

S4. Robotics and Automation in NDT: Addressing the use of robotic systems and automated solutions for efficient and reliable NDT inspections.

S5. NDT for Structural Health Monitoring: Examining the role of NDT in the continuous monitoring of the integrity of structures and components.

S6. NDT for Additive Manufacturing: Investigating the challenges and solutions of NDT in ensuring the quality of additively manufactured parts.

S7. NDT in Cultural Heritage Preservation: Discussing the application of NDT techniques for the diagnostics and preservation of historical artefacts and monuments.

S8. Data Fusion and Integration: Exploring the synergistic combination of data from diverse NDT techniques and complementary sources to improve the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of measurements.

We believe that ICNDT 2026 will provide a valuable platform for fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers and practitioners in the field of non-destructive testing. We look forward to receiving your contributions and welcoming you to the conference.
