Fourteenth EU Non-proliferation and Disarmament Conference
2025-11-10 - 2025-11-11
On 10–11 November 2025, the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), on behalf of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium, hosted the 14th edition of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Conference.
As in previous editions, the Conference featured a rich and interdisciplinary agenda, ranging from weapons of mass destruction to conventional arms, from space security to emerging technologies, and regional security dynamics across Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia.
This year’s programme placed particular emphasis on a number of highly topical and sensitive issues. A dedicated session on nuclear security included remarks by Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Other key discussions addressed India–Pakistan relations and strategic stability, conflict management and diplomacy in the Middle East, European security and the war in Ukraine, and diplomatic priorities ahead of the 2026 NPT Review Conference.
The debate also integrated important historical reflections. Marking the 50th anniversary of the Biological Weapons Convention and the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, participants heard powerful remarks by United Nations Under-Secretary-General Izumi Nakamitsu. These interventions underscored the enduring link between memory, responsibility, and the prevention of future conflict.
The Conference was organised within the framework of the activities of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium and funded by the European Union.”
