- Disarmament: This is the opposite of armament. It involves reducing, limiting, or eliminating weapons and armed forces.
Aimed to support and reinvigorate disarmament education activities, the Armament and Disarmament Summer School is both a course and networking opportunity for the next generation of professionals in the field of disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control.
The Summer School consists of a five-day programme of in-person lectures, seminars and training workshops on armament and disarmament matters that endeavours to develop knowledge and skills and to motivate and empower emerging specialists to further expand their expertise in these critical issues and beyond.
The course will feature a variety of opportunities and activities including:
- Lectures and discussions on armament and disarmament by leading experts in the field
- Skill-building workshops and training sessions
- Visits to institutions working on issues in the field of armament and disarmament
The Summer School seeks to contribute to global efforts to create a strong community of highly professional like-minded peace researchers and practitioners from around the world, who are striving to shape and promote a secure, peaceful and sustainable future.
