The current pandemic has also affected the planning of events organised by the EU Non-proliferation and Disarmament Consortium. The current status is as follows:

– The annual Consultative Meeting (originally scheduled for mid-June) has been postponed to 10 and 11 September 2020.  As every year, the event will be held in Brussels (location TBC, event by invitation only).

– The ad hoc seminar on non-proliferation and disarmament education, to which all university-affiliated Network members will be invited, cannot take place in person in June as envisaged. We will however hold a virtual event on 23 and 24 June (9-12h both days), followed by an event in Brussels at a later date.

– The visit of the UN Disarmament Fellows to Brussels is usually held in September. The UN Office for Disarmament Affairs is currently in the process of reviewing the dates and/or modes of delivery of the UN Disarmament Fellows program. 

– The 9th edition of the annual EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Conference is scheduled for 12-13 November 2020. As last year, the Network Meeting and the Next Generation Workshop will be held the day before (11 November 2020). We hope that by then it will again be possible to hold an international conference in Brussels.
