India-U.S. Cooperation on Global Security: A Workshop on Technical Aspects of Civilian Nuclear Materials Security
U.S. National Academies of Science and The National Institute of Advanced Studies
October 29-31, 2012 Indian Institute of Science Campus Bangalore, India
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP
This Indian-U.S. workshop on the technical aspects of civilian nuclear materials security has been convened jointly by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) in Bangalore. The goals and objectives of this joint workshop are:
• To build mutual understanding of how experts in India and the United States approach issues of civilian nuclear materials management and security;
• To establish contacts among Indian and U.S. scientists and experts on nuclear materials security and to build confidence in cooperation on nuclear security issues, and;
• To identify concrete, technically-based areas for potential future collaboration between the technical experts of India and the United States, including through the Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership.
Given these goals and objectives, NIAS and NAS encourage open and frank discussion during the workshop, and urge all participants to be actively engaged and seek specific opportunities for further collaborative scientific efforts.
