Workshop Program

The program will feature an opening plenary with invited speakers, 4 working groups, and a closing summary plenary. The working groups for the 2019 workshop are:

• WG-1: International Safeguards 
• WG-2: Nuclear Security 
• WG-3: Nonproliferation and Arms Control
• WG-4: Nuclear Knowledge Retention

Working groups 1, 2, and 3 will have concurrent sessions running throughout the workshop and the chairs of these working groups will provide a summary of the outcomes during the closing plenary. Working group 4 on nuclear knowledge retention will be conducted as a special plenary session for all participants.

The working group sessions are being designed to provide an interactive exchange among all the participants.  Designated facilitators will moderate the discussion using a combination of invited speakers to set the stage for the discussion and an integration of the submitted abstracts.  As such, the authors of accepted abstracts should not expect to make a presentation on their topic, rather they should be prepared to provide an oral description of their contribution when called upon by the facilitator as part of the integrated discussion.
