Summer 2025 Program Fellows

Fellows will participate in a series of lectures in the fields of nonproliferation, disarmament, and arms control. They will also join ongoing CNS research projects and carry out independent research projects with CNS mentorship. This unique and innovative nonproliferation training program aligns with our Center’s goal of training future leaders to combat the spread of weapons of mass destruction. We are confident that this summer program will be educationally rewarding, and life-changing experience for each one of participants as we engage them in rigorous educational and research activities.

We are thrilled to welcome 11 outstanding and enthusiastic undergraduate fellows from diverse backgrounds to CNS!
