Project on Nuclear Issues

About the Project on Nuclear Issues
Addressing an increasingly complex array of nuclear weapons challenges will require a solid foundation of expertise across numerous sectors. Because most of these challenges are long-term, the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) places a special emphasis on building and sustaining a vibrant community of young nuclear experts from the military, national laboratories, industry, academia, and the policy community. PONI maintains an enterprise-wide membership base, hosts four major conferences and several smaller events each year, maintains an online blog, holds live debates on critical nuclear weapons issues, runs a six-month academic program for young experts, and distributes bi-weekly news and event announcements to members.
