During the first phase of the semester-long training, student participants identify areas of interest in nonproliferation studies and conduct preliminary research under the guidance of their teachers. Each school is asked to submit a “mini-project” to CNS, which then serves as a foundation for their final presentation at the Spring Conference. Posted below are some of the mini-projects for the 2019-2020 Critical Issues Forum.

Note: All schools have received feedback from CNS associates on their mini-projects. To view our students’ final presentations, click HERE.
