The three parties signed the MOU at a ceremony on October 25, 2014. As part of their cooperation, they are seeking to develop a dual degree program between the M.A. in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies (NPTS) at MIIS and a Weapons of Mass Destruction Nonproliferation curriculum at MGIMO. The dual degree in nonproliferation will include faculty drawn from researchers affiliated with the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at MIIS and the PIR Center in Moscow.
