The PPNT Winter Conference
Typically held at the UC Washington Center, the annual PPNT Winter Conference is planned by the PPNT Fellow alumnae network. The conference provides an opportunity for researchers and practioners in the early stages of their careers to present their research to a policy audience and to receive feedback both from their peers and from senior members of the nuclear security community. Past conferences have included panels, poster sessions, and keynote speeches from noted nuclear policy experts.
Topics of past conferences have ranged from how to manage the nuclear stockpile, exploration of an international nuclear forensics regime as a model for cooperative deterrence, the denuclearization of North Korea, and most recently, the state of the world's nuclear infrstructure in the wake of the 2011 Japanese disaster .
Personnel from the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories have served as advisors in the planning of the PPNT winter conference since its inception, and LLNL has hosted several IGCC meetings on nuclear policy issues.
