Abstract
An international meeting was organized in Amsterdam in September 2014 at the Naval Barracks of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Attendance of the meeting was by invitation only in order to warrantee the group getting not too big, while ensuring key players to be present. The meeting was aiming at maximizing interaction time for all attendees: there was a get-together upon arrival and a reception following the plenary programme on the Monday. After the plenary programme from Monday to Thursday, meeting rooms were made available in The Hague for project meetings on the Friday. The plenary programme has been compiled based on experience with previous ESOMM-2011 meeting, and with recommendations of a number of key persons. Session-chairs have been assigned in order to reflect different disciplines and stakeholders in the field. The meeting was formally opened by rearadmiral Rob Bauer, director of plans for NL MoD. The meeting was organized together with LCDR Ren Dekeling (RNLN) and Marije Siemensma (MS&C), together with logistics and secretary support of TNO staff. On-site there was additional support of undergrad Kristianne Dreteler (Leiden University). The meeting was funded by the NL-MOD, with additional support from ONR, ONRG, CNO-N45 and TNO.
