Colloquia on Nuclear Threat Reduction

To build a national network of physicist-advocates on this issue, we send nuclear arms control experts to physics departments, other science departments, and laboratories across the country and abroad to deliver colloquia and recruit support.

Our colloquia are offered either online or in person at the hosting institution. Interested in attending a talk at your department? Use the button below to request a colloquium.
