The 2014 Nuclear Knowledge Summit (NKS) is an official non-governmental side event of the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) bringing together more than 200 experts from around the world to discuss how to strengthen the global nuclear security regime. The NKS also aims to help create a broad platform of experts and non-governmental organisations support internationally to promote nuclear security. The NKS takes place in The Hague, the Netherlands, from March 19 to March 23, 2014.
On Friday, March 21, 2014, the panels and discussions at the NKS focused on:
– Improving Regime Cohesion
– Regional Approaches to Nuclear Security
– Cyber Security in the Context of Nuclear Security
– Information Sharing and Peer Review
Dr. Roger Howsley, WINS Executive Director, participated in the third panel on “Information Sharing and Peer Review” and discussed Industry Approaches to Transparency and Confidence Building.
The NKS is co-organized by the Clingendael Institute, the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, and the Fissile Materials Working Group. For more information and to view the programme, you can visit the NKS website here or download the NKS fact sheet.
We are very pleased that the Government of the Netherlands acknowledged in their opening address their financial contribution to the WINS Academy, and we wish to thank them for their support.
