Workshop on autonomous and remotely operated systems: Benefits and challenges to nuclear security

Background

The WINS Academy Ambassador Programme provides a vital role to outreach to potentially interested individuals and organisations globally. The outreach activities carried out by Ambassadors are essential for the continued messaging and growth of commitments being made to ensure nuclear and other radioactive materials used for civilian purposes do not fall into harms way and that a strong and proactive nuclear security culture is embedded, supported by increased awareness and knowledge of nuclear security through certification of professionals.

With 32 Ambassadors representing a total of 24 countries, WINS wants to ensure that Ambassadors are supported and can work collectively to achieve commons goals that make a difference within their countries and regions. WINS is committed to the growth of the Ambassador programme and networking opportunities for sharing of experience and lessons learned.
