Read, Write, and Review Nuclear Literature
Nuclear Strategy, Arms Control, and Nonprofileration
German Student/Young Pugwash has launched the Nuclear Reading Club on Nuclear Strategy, Arms Control, and Non-proliferation – hosted by yours truly, Philipp Fischer and Ariel Karn – to fix those issues!
You will have the chance to dive deep into their texts, share your perspective in presentations and reviews, and discuss your questions and ideas with researchers,
An opportunity to study nuclear issues, show what you learned, and connect.
Each month, we have a fascinating piece of literature and a live meeting with experts specialising in nuclear weapons issues. We cover some of the most popular topics, including challenges of the third nuclear age, contemporary influences such as those of artificial intelligence, and other pressing policy concerns.
This is your chance to …
- Organise meetings with outstanding researchers
- Present and discuss your views on insightful works about nuclear issues
