SUMMARY:Webinar: "Conventional Weapons Diversion: Challenges and Initiatives to Counter Illicit Trafficking"
DESCRIPTION:The Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) and the International Affairs Institute (IAI)\, in the framework of the Young Women and Next Generation Initiative (YWNGI) cordially invite you to a webinar entitled “Conventional Weapons diversion: challenges and initiatives to counter illicit trafficking”. \nThe event will feature a lecture by Dr. Nils Duquet\, Director at the Flemish Peace Institute. He will speak about the diversion of Conventional Weapons and how such weapons\, during their lifecycles\, happen to be diverted from the legal trade into the illicit domain. Nils Duquet will also address the existing international normative frameworks and initiatives aiming at combating the illicit proliferation of such weapons. \nThe event will take place online on Zoom on 15 April 2025 from 16:30 to 17:30 (CEST). \nStudents and young specialists interested in learning more about the field of non-proliferation\, arms control and disarmament are particularly encouraged to attend. The event will be held in English. \nWe kindly ask you to RSVP via the online registration form:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZvIGS_bFQim4_YVC7nosEA \nTentative agenda\n  \n16.00: Welcome remarks and introduction\n Federica Dall’Arche\, Senior Research Associate\, VCDNP \nSpeaker\nNils Duquet\, Director\, Flemish Peace Institute \n17.15 Q&A\n\n17.45 Meeting Ends \nBackground\n  \nThe Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) and The International Affairs Institute (IAI)\, in the framework of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (EUNPD) Consortium have launched a Young Women and Next Generation Initiative (YWNGI)\, an initiative to encourage young women and the next generation to enter the non-proliferation\, arms control and disarmament field. \nDriven by the widely shared awareness of the persistent age and gender imbalances among experts and practitioners in the non-proliferation\, arms control and disarmament field\, the Young Women and Next Generation Initiative aims to help address such imbalances by exposing college and university level students to arms control issues\, increasing awareness and encouraging participation in events and workshops. The initiative also aims to respond to the very limited offering of relevant courses on WMD issues in colleges and universities at undergraduate and master’s level. The goal is to help students understand how to pursue a career in the field\, making the best use of their own skills. The Initiative includes the creation of a mentorship programme\, the conveying of workshops and meetings\, and the organization of outreach visits at universities. \nThe YWNGI is possible thanks to the generous support of the European Union. \nDownload the PDF
