The NDC, in cooperation with NATO HQ’s Nuclear Policy Directorate, is organizing the third edition of the Early-Career Nuclear Strategists Workshop (ECNSW III).
The event aims at enhancing and disseminating the necessary competencies, understanding and skills with regard to the concept and practice of nuclear deterrence, in order to forge a new generation of nuclear strategists.
The workshop has three main goals:
• To promote awareness and expertise on nuclear issues;
• To train a community of young experts from different backgrounds, on these subjects;
• To facilitate dialogue and understanding between the academic and policy-making worlds, and create a network.
The event will bring together nationals of NATO countries, under the age of 40, who are either enrolled in a PhD programme (any discipline) or already hold a PhD.
Following the event, the NDC Research Division intends to publish the best papers presented at the workshop (2.500-3.500 words long), and strengthen this network of scholars and policy-makers
