Dear Members of the EUNPD Network,

 

I am writing on behalf of the EU Nonproliferation and Disarmament Consortium (https://www.nonproliferation.eu) and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (https://www.sipri.org).

 

On April 8-11, 2025, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and the EU Nonproliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC) are planning to conduct an intensive online course for students of technical disciplines or natural science disciplines titled “WMD non-proliferation and disarmament”.

 

The course will cover the fundamentals of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons; the non-proliferation and disarmament regimes designed to control them; the impact of novel technologies and recent geopolitical changes on WMD proliferation, disarmament, and nuclear security; the proliferation risks associated with natural sciences and engineering skills and knowledge; as well as potential career paths in non-proliferation and disarmament of WMD. The course will also discuss the role of the EU institutions and industry to address the challenges mentioned above.

 

Course instructors will include renowned experts on non-proliferation, arms control, disarmament, export controls, verification and related subjects from SIPRI, other European research centres, think tanks and international organizations. The language of instruction is English.

 

The course announcement and application form are available here at the SIPRI website:https://www.sipri.org/news/2025/sipri-co-host-intensive-online-course-wmd-non-proliferation-and-disarmament-students-and-young

 

Could you please distribute the announcement above to the relevant students at your institution?

 

In case if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact SIPRI Senior Researcher Vitaly Fedchenko at fedchenko@sipri.org.

 

Sincerely,

Lucas Wiktorsson
