Open Nuclear Network (ONN) – The EU Non-Proliferation Consortium

Open Nuclear Network, ONN (Austria)

Open Nuclear Network (ONN) is an independent non-advocacy NGO established in Vienna, Austria. The goal of ONN is to reduce the risk that nuclear weapons are used in response to error, uncertainty or misdirection, particularly in the context of escalating conflict, using innovation, inclusion and dialogue supported by open source data. ONN offers a mechanism for reducing the risk that nuclear weapons are used in the course of conflict escalation: a transparently non-aligned, data-driven, civilian programme committed to building relationships and sharing information across national and alliance boundaries. Ultimately, the aim is to give decision makers access to independently generated and unclassified information, which can be used as a common basis for dialogue and conflict de-escalation, thereby reducing the risk of nuclear weapons use in response to error, uncertainty or misdirection.

During the initial stage of operation, ONN is focusing on the Korean Peninsula. Should ONN’s model prove successful, ONN will expand the scope of its activities to other conflict contexts.
