SUMMARY:May 2023\, WMD Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Pathways: intensive online introductory course for students of nuclear and aerospace engineering disciplines
DESCRIPTION:SIPRI and the European Union Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC) invite graduate and postgraduate students of nuclear and aerospace engineering disciplines to apply for an intensive online introductory course on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)\, mechanisms to control their further spread and pathways to disarmament. The course will take place online\, during four half-days on 2–5 May 2023\, 14:00 to 18:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST). \nThe course will cover the fundamentals of biological\, chemical and nuclear weapons\, as well as of missiles and other means of WMD delivery; threats associated with the military use of WMD and potential terrorist uses of chemical\, biological\, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) material (i.e. CBRN terrorism); arms control treaties; WMD-free zones; non-proliferation treaties and means of their verification; export controls; and mechanisms aimed at achieving disarmament. \nThe course will also discuss the role of the nuclear and aerospace industries in preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons. The course will be instructed by renowned experts on WMD non-proliferation\, arms control\, disarmament\, export controls\, verification and related subjects from SIPRI\, other European research centres\, think tanks and international organizations. \n\n  \nEligibility and application \nThe course is open to all students currently enrolled in a university and pursuing a graduate or postgraduate degree in any nuclear or aerospace engineering discipline. Applications from qualified women and under-represented communities are encouraged. \nThe language of instruction is English. There is no tuition fee. The deadline for applications is 16 April 2023. As space is limited\, we recommend that applications are submitted as early as possible. Participants will be given access to preparatory materials. \nApplications should be submitted in English via SIPRI’s electronic application system to be eligible. Please access the form via the ‘apply’ button at the end of this page. \nPlease note that you will be asked to upload a cover letter\, a curriculum vitae\, a record of courses taken to date and grades received as well as a letter confirming your enrolment in a graduate/postgraduate programme. \nSelections will be finalized by 21 April 2023\, and applicants will be informed thereafter. \nAll inquiries about the course should be directed to Vitaly Fedchenko\, Senior Researcher with the SIPRI Weapons of Mass Destruction Programme. \n  \nContact person  \nVitaly Fedchenko\, Senior Researcher : fedchenko@sipri.org

SUMMARY:Young Women and Next Generation Initiative in Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Mentorship Programme – 2nd Edition Final Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Young Women and Next Generation Initiative in Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Mentorship Programme – 2nd Edition Final Meeting\n\nOn 15 May 2023\, the VCDNP and the International Affairs Institute (IAI) organised the final meeting of the second edition of the Young Women in Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Mentorship Programme. \nThe Programme pairs 20 driven young females with 20 well-established experts in the field over the course of nine months and gives mentees the opportunity to attend relevant conferences and outreach events on non-proliferation\, disarmament\, arms control\, and related topics\, including the EUNPDC Annual Conference and Next Generation Workshop. The Programme has also provided networking and career development opportunities through seminars\, social events\, and other activities. The Mentorship Programme is part of the Young Women and Next Generation Initiative under the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium. \n“I think the programme is a great initiative. It encouraged me to study more non-proliferation\, disarmament\, and gender issues\, and it provided me with amazing connections with mentees and mentors. The programme taught me good lessons\, it helped me improve many of my skills and now I intend to deepen my studies into a Master’s in this field.” \n2023 Mentee \nThe final meeting was opened by Stefan Tressing\, Deputy Head of the Division for Disarmament\, Non-Proliferation and Arms Export Control at the European External Action Service (EEAS) and Elena Sokova\, VCDNP Executive Director. \n\n\nStefan Tressing (EEAS) delivering opening remarks\n\nThe event was held online and divided into three sessions. \nThe first session was dedicated to mentees’ presentations and moderated by Paola Tessari (IAI). Selected mentees presented their work and research prepared over the course of the Mentorship Programme. The presentations covered issues related to arms control\, disarmament\, and non-proliferation\, such as autonomous weapon systems\, non-traditional security and nuclear risk\, diversity in non-proliferation and disarmament\, economic sanctions from a gender perspective\, and gender and race in international security. \n\n\nPresentation by Elin Bergner (Open Nuclear Network)\n\nPresentations were delivered by: \n\nInsaf Senouci (Sciences Po Grenoble)\nStephanie Verlaan (EuropeanUniversity Viadrina)\nVeerle Moyson (UNODA Vienna Office)\nJennet Charyyeva (Bilkent University)\nAmanda Pereira (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo)\nElin Bergner (Open Nuclear Network)\nNatalina Popat (Oxford University)\nIrene Palomo (European Research Council Executive Agency – ERCEA)\n\n\n\nPresentation by Jennet Charyyeva (Bilkent University)\n\n“I really like the concept of this Programme and how refreshing it felt to coach a mentee/someone who is hopeful and positive about the field and I learned a lot too as a mentor!” \n2023 Mentor \n\nSecond panel discussion\n\nThe second panel focused on providing career advice and featured a presentation by Elizabeth Bone\, Career and Academic Advisor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. Ms. Bone shared helpful tips when searching for a job and offered guidelines for dealing with rejection and building resilience. The panel was moderated by Manuel Herrera (IAI). \n\n\nPresentation by Elizabeth Bone (MIIS)\n\n“I feel encouraged knowing there are many other young women working on the same path as me. It is nice to hear you’re not alone. I received good guidance and explanations and insights which allowed me to reflect on my career path and possible developments\, outcomes and combinations. This is very important.” \n2023 Mentee \nThe last panel was devoted to a comprehensive evaluation of the programme to collect feedback from participants and brainstorm improvements for future editions. The open discussion was moderated by Federica Dall’Arche (VCDNP). \nClosing remarks were delivered by Sybille Bauer (SIPRI and Chair of the EUNPD Consortium).
