On 17–19 April 2023, the VCDNP conducted an intensive mini-course on nuclear issues for ambassadors recently posted in Vienna. Through presentations and panel discussions, ambassadors from 15 countries explored issues at the top of the agenda for the Vienna diplomatic community and international organizations. The course program covered topics such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and its review process, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), the International Atomic Energy Agency’s safeguards system and the work on peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, and nuclear security.
The VCDNP is grateful to the Carnegie Corporation of New York for their generous support of the Center’s capacity-building and training activities and to Ambassador Pirkko Hämäläinen and the Permanent Mission of Finland to the UN and other International Organizations in Vienna for generously hosting this course.
