SIPRI and the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament at Uppsala University, in cooperation with the Odesa Center for Nonproliferation, are now inviting applications to the 2026 Armament and Disarmament Summer School, to be held in Stockholm and Uppsala on 24–28 August 2026.
The summer school is both a course and a networking opportunity for the next generation of professionals in the field of disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control. It aims to support and reinvigorate disarmament education activities.
The five-day, in-person programme will include lectures and discussions as well as workshops and trainings on armament and disarmament matters delivered by leading experts, as well as visits to institutions working in this field. The programme seeks to develop participants’ knowledge and skills and empower emerging specialists to further expand their expertise in these critical issues.
Applications are open for 25 highly motivated students, researchers, policymakers, practitioners and other junior professionals with a relevant profile from governmental or non-governmental organizations or think tanks.
The closing date for applications is 16 March 2026.
