CNS is excited to announce that its renowned Visiting Fellows program is now also available to French and U.S. nationals with the aim of fostering strong French and U.S. cooperation in science, technology and related policies that underpins weapons of mass destruction nonproliferation and security. The program is offered twice a year (February to May, and from September to December). CNS is urgently seeking applicants for the Spring 2026 cohort but will also accept applications for the Fall period.
The Visiting Fellows program offers intensive training to junior and mid-career professionals in foreign ministries and other relevant government departments, national export control and regulatory bodies, journalists, research, and academic institutions to obtain an in-depth understanding of the nonproliferation and disarmament regime and related international policy-making process. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines policy and technical aspects of nonproliferation and arms control issues, as well as nuclear security and WMD-related technologies. Selected French and U.S. Visiting Fellows will develop in-depth understandings of legal, political, regional, and technical aspects of WMD nonproliferation, and develop the skills necessary to have a positive impact on arms control and nonproliferation policy in their respective countries and in the international arena.
