— Outreach and assistance to journalists and junior diplomats to use the EU non-proliferation and disarmament educational resources. — Providing support for the teaching of arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament in university seminars. — Providing support for combining eLearning and class-room-training (“blended learning”). — Increased in-depth knowledge of EU non-proliferation and disarmament policies across the Union and in third countries. — Providing a constantly updated open educational resource for all stakeholders involved in non-proliferation research and programming. — Providing critical supportive knowledge to non-proliferation practitioners and scholars.
2.5.2 ‘Teaching clinic’ (teaching resource hub) (lead: PRIF) Purpose and description of the project This activity will continue the work initiated in 2021/22, to strengthen disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation education in the EU.
Up to now, 59 relevant courses recently taught at universities in the EU were identified through an extensive online search.
The respective lecturers were contacted individually.
In response, 24 syllabi were made available.
A preliminary evaluation resulted in two master syllabi and short summaries of key texts.
In Phase IV, the project will compile courses at European and North American universities and expand the search to non-Western countries.
The statistical analysis will constantly be refined and updated.
Additional material will be proposed to lecturers and teachers.
Results of the project — Extensive range of curricula of learning events as examples and inspiration provided on the Consortium website. — Statistical evaluation of existing courses regarding, e.g. topics taught, theoretical approaches or gender diversity, will be published on the Consortium website and presented at conferences or workshops. — Creation and updating of two “master syllabi” for first-time teachers. — Short summaries of relevant or missing literature published on the Consortium website.
2.5.3 Proliferation awareness training course (lead: SIPRI) Purpose and description of the project This activity will cover the organization of 6 training courses to raise awareness of proliferation risks for graduate and postgraduate students of the natural sciences and other relevant fields.
It will also create a bridge between the social and natural sciences, which was identified as an urgent need in the last phase.
This will include the development of a dedicated curriculum for distinct audiences (such as biomedical, engineering or nuclear) and delivery of two courses per year.
In Phase IV, three of these courses will be organized in person in Stockholm; three will take place virtually.
Results of the project — Enhanced capacity in the next generation of scholars of the natural sciences and other relevant fields in nonproliferation instruments and policies. — Contribution to the goal of Union non-proliferation policy through enhanced awareness of proliferation risks among disciplines with major proliferation risks and technological developments; as well as of opportunities to address proliferation risks through technological developments. — Combination of distance learning (e-learning) and on-site training (‘blended learning’).
