SIPRI and the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC) are pleased to announce that they will host a course on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) non-proliferation and disarmament in an era of technological convergence. This intensive, in-person course will take place in Stockholm on 23–25 June 2026 and is now open for applications.
The course is aimed at graduate students and early career professionals in technical or natural science disciplines and will include lectures by leading experts, as well as interactive sessions designed to apply concepts to real-world scenarios.
Participants will be introduced to the foundations of WMD non-proliferation and disarmament, with a particular focus on the governance challenges posed by dual-use science and technology.
In a security environment marked by geopolitical fragmentation, interstate conflict, erosion of arms control norms, and rapid scientific and technological change, the course will explore how non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament frameworks are adapting to address the evolving threats.
