Simulation conference on the Nuclear Weapons Convention
11.-12. May 2010, New York City
The Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Centre for Science and Peace Research (University of Hamburg) and IANUS (TU Darmstadt) would like to invite you to a simulation conference that is going to negotiate the Nuclear Weapons Convention. The event is organised by “International Network of Engineers and Scientists against Proliferation (INESAP) and will take place alongside the 2010 NPT Review Conference in New York so you will get both the possibility to act in the simulated conference as well as in the real NPT RevCon. You will get accredited through the NGO INESAP and will be able to observe the RevCon negotiations as well as meet diplomats.
The simulation conference will take place on May 11/12. A preparation phase will take place in Princeton during May 8/9. Most students will arrive on May 1, but this is no obligation. Beforehand, there will be a seminar at the University of Hamburg during April 16/17. Participants will be able to participate interactively via internet tools.
Requirements for participants:
· Between 20 and 30 years old
· Student or completed degree
· Ability to obtain visa for US
Financial support can unfortunately not be granted.
Please reply not later than on March 19th, 2010 to Malte Göttsche (maltegoettschephysikuni-hamburgde) if you are interested.
Briefly state your motivation for participation and your background/experience.
We are looking forward to meeting you and are sure that this is going to be an extraordinary experience for all of us.
