Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Papers

On behalf of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium, SIPRI invites applications for the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament paper series. These are policy papers that are published on a range of topics, including non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, conventional arms (including small arms and light weapons) and/or disarmament. These papers aim to provide recommendations to European and EU policy-makers, with analysis that informs discussion of EU relevant bodies on non-proliferation, arms control, and disarmament policies and practice.

Applicants can submit proposals to [email protected], with the following information:

• Proposed paper title
• Abstract (150-200 words)
• Description of professional qualifications (max. 100 words)

Please note that a research topic that is timely, relevant, and important is a prerequisite. We strongly advise you to consult the list of published papers to avoid repetition of topics or arguments.

Furthermore, submission of proposals does not guarantee publication. Selected papers will be commissioned on an individual basis through a single tender procedure as per the contract requirements of the EU Non-proliferation and Disarmament Consortium.

The maximum length of each paper is 8000 words. An honorarium of up to €5000 can be offered for each completed publication.

All qualified individuals, including women and members of underrepresented communities are encouraged to apply. We also welcome contributions from ‘next generation’ specialists with a view to contribute to their professional development.
