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 URL:https://nonproliferation.eu/evenement/webinar-conventional-weapons-diversion-challenges-and-initiatives-to-counter-illicit-trafficking/ CATEGORIES:Young Women and Next Generation Initiative ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nonproliferation.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Capture-decran-2025-04-07-154622.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250716T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250716T170000 DTSTAMP:20230704T154535Z CREATED:20221019T092527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230704T154535Z UID:12191-1752652800-1752685200@nonproliferation.eu SUMMARY:A Conventional Introduction to Arms Control DESCRIPTION:Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\nSummer 2022\nThis master syllabus offers a classic\, primarily realist introduction into contemporary arms control issues. \n\nLevel: Undergraduate\nDownload Syllabus URL:https://nonproliferation.eu/evenement/conventionnal/ CATEGORIES:Master Syllabus,Syllabi END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250722T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250722T170000 DTSTAMP:20230704T154607Z CREATED:20221019T094450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230704T154607Z UID:12198-1753171200-1753203600@nonproliferation.eu SUMMARY:Arms Control\, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation – A Critical Perspective DESCRIPTION:Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\nSummer 2022\nIn drawing on a wide variety of theoretical outlooks\, this master syllabus provides a range of critical perspectives on matters of arms control\, disarmament and non-proliferation. \n\nLevel: Postgraduate\nDownload Syllabus URL:https://nonproliferation.eu/evenement/critical/ CATEGORIES:Master Syllabus,Syllabi END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250916 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250920 DTSTAMP:20260324T131015Z CREATED:20251205T110054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T131015Z UID:14609-1757980800-1758326399@nonproliferation.eu SUMMARY:Fourteenth EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consultative Meeting DESCRIPTION:The fourteenth Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium brought together experts\, practitioners\, and policymakers for two days of in-depth discussions hosted by the FRS on behalf of the EU. This year’s meeting focused on the most pressing challenges in arms control\, disarmament\, and non-proliferation\, beginning with high-level exchanges on missile defence and strategic risk reduction\, space security\, rising tensions in South Asia\, and the diversion and illicit trafficking of conventional weapons in Syria. \nThe second day expanded the conversation with sessions on global arms markets\, the militarisation of dual-use and uncontrolled items\, the proliferation and regulation of UAVs\, and the implications of emerging and disruptive technologies\, including quantum capabilities\, for international security. As in previous editions\, theoretical\, institutional\, political\, and industrial perspectives were combined to offer a comprehensive overview of evolving security dynamics\, with significant interaction from participants throughout the event. \nVideo\nSee below the conference highlights for key takeaways from each session: \n \nAgenda\n \n \n \n \n \n Loading...\n \n \n \n \n \n Taking too long?\n \n \n Reload document \n |\n \n Open in new tab \n \n \n \n Download \n \n \n \n \n \n Loading...\n \n \n \n \n \n Taking too long?\n \n \n Reload document \n |\n \n Open in new tab \n \n \n \n Download URL:https://nonproliferation.eu/evenement/fourteenth-eu-non-proliferation-and-disarmament-consultative-meeting/ CATEGORIES:Consultative Meetings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nonproliferation.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/PXL_20250919_071858307_OK-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251111 DTSTAMP:20260225T211601Z CREATED:20251201T143230Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260225T211601Z UID:14596-1762732800-1762819199@nonproliferation.eu SUMMARY:EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Next Generation Workshop 2025 DESCRIPTION:On 10 November 2025\, the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)\, as a member of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium\, hosted the eighth edition of the Next Generation Workshop. Held each year alongside the annual EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Annual Conference\, the Workshop brings together early-career researchers and experts working in the fields of non-proliferation\, arms control\, and disarmament\, selected through a highly competitive process. Participants also have the opportunity to attend the Conference and its various sessions and activities\, benefiting from valuable networking moments with senior practitioners\, policymakers\, and fellow experts. \nThe programme of this year’s Workshop was structured around three thematic sessions\, offering an articulated overview of regional perspectives on non-proliferation and disarmament\, the emerging challenges facing the NPT regime\, and the growing impact of emerging technologies on arms control. The presentations\, followed by moments of discussion and Q&A\, fostered a rich and constructive exchange between participants and the institutional representatives in attendance\, contributing to a rigorous and well-informed debate. \n \n  \nGallery photo \nConference proceedings\n \n \n \n \n \n Loading...\n \n \n \n \n \n Taking too long?\n \n \n Reload document \n |\n \n Open in new tab \n \n \n \n Download URL:https://nonproliferation.eu/evenement/eu-non-proliferation-and-disarmament-next-generation-workshop-2025/ CATEGORIES:Next generation workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nonproliferation.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC00556-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251112 DTSTAMP:20260225T211025Z CREATED:20251127T150511Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260225T211025Z UID:14565-1762732800-1762905599@nonproliferation.eu SUMMARY:Fourteenth EU Non-proliferation and Disarmament Conference DESCRIPTION: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.\nAs 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. \nThis 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. \nThe debate also integrated important historical reflections.
