Publication of 15 EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Policy Papers (lead: SIPRI)
Purpose and description of the project The project provides for the preparation and publication of up to 15 policy papers.
The policy papers will be commissioned by the Consortium and prepared, primarily, by the Consortium or the Network, with a view to ensure a balanced and diverse representation of views in terms of gender and of thematic and regional expertise.
Where possible, the policy paper series will invite contributions from ‘next generation’ specialists to contribute to their professional development.
The papers will cover the topics under the mandate of the Consortium.
Every paper will propose recommendations/policy options.
All policy papers will be published on the website of the Consortium.
Results of the project — Enhanced political and security-related dialogue on measures to combat the proliferation of WMD and their delivery systems, arms control and disarmament, primarily by experts, researchers and academics. — Increased awareness, knowledge and understanding within civil society, the European network of independent nonproliferation think tanks, and governments of issues related to Union non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament policies. — Political and/or operational policy options provided to the HR, the Union's institutions and the Member States. — Development of non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament actions at Union level assisted through ideas, information and analysis.

Promotion and strengthening of NPD education
The project consists of the following activities:
2.5.1 Update of the EUNPD E-Learning infrastructure and courses (lead: PRIF) Purpose and description of the project This activity will focus on the global dissemination and use of the eLearning tool, which was developed under Phase II and III.
The course currently consists of 20 learning units on all relevant issues regarding non-proliferation and disarmament.
In Phase IV, all 20 units will be regularly updated to provide students with the most recent facts and figures.
Due to the significant upheavals the field of non-proliferation and disarmament has undergone in recent years, this phase focuses on significantly updating the 15 original learning units developed between 2014 and 2017: in terms of content; userfriendliness and user-interface; and graphic and video design.
These changes will make it easier to keep the learning units up to date.
Special attention will again be devoted to accessibility i.e., the upgrade for users with visual or hearing impairments.
The intelligibility of the whole course will be enhanced through a language review by specialized English native speakers.
Continuing outreach and support to educational institutions will allow easy integration of the eLearning into University Master Programmes and other educational offers and encourage global usage of the eLearning course.
Results of the project — Maintenance, optimization and updating of the existing EUNPD eLearning course covering all relevant aspects of nonproliferation and disarmament. — Outreach and assistance to educators, lecturers’ trainers to use the EU non-proliferation and disarmament educational resources.
