International discussions among representatives of civil society, governments, and organizations on nuclear disarmament & proliferation.

Geschichte

On October 27, 2010, the Austrian Foreign Ministry for European and International Affairs publically announced the selection of the James Martin Center of Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Monterey Institute of International Studies as its partner institution in the establishment of the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation.

The new Center will serve as an international hub for discussions among representatives of civil society, governments, and international organizations of the most pressing nuclear disarmament and proliferation challenges.

Particular attention will be given to devising creative but practical means to address these challenges and to educate the public—especially young people—in this regard.
