International School on Disarmament and Research on Conflicts (ISODARCO)
Project Title
For two advanced international courses on new technologies and strategic stability
Date
Jun. 05, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Geopolitical instability and rapid technological advancements are reshaping the nuclear security landscape, making it increasingly vital—but also more challenging—to understand evolving nuclear risks. This is especially challenging for people new to, or seeking to enter, the nuclear security field. With renewed funding, ISODARCO will continue to offer short courses that provide an intensive introduction to both traditional and emerging nuclear security issues. These courses uniquely bring together established experts and emerging scholars from different disciplines and countries for a week of seminars, panels, and discussions on nuclear risk. ISODARCO has a track record of equipping young professionals with the tools to build their knowledge base on a wide rangeof nuclear security topics and pursue careers focused on reducing nuclear security risks. In the past, ISODARCO has successfully used the courses to create a cohort of young professionals and established itself as a reliable entry into nuclear studies.

Description
Changes in the political and technological landscape will require new approaches and a new generation of experts and practitioners from diverse national backgrounds. Isodarco will provide opportunities for young professionals to build their expertise and networks through two residential advanced courses on the impact of new technologies on international security. These courses bring together experts for a week-long seminar on how political tensions and technological change are shaping nuclear risk, with particular emphasis on crisis- and arms-race stability. Each course will involve roughly fourteen senior lecturers and fifty early- and mid-career participants, primarily graduate students from the United States, Europe, Russia, Asia, and Africa.
