The center will host early or mid-career defense or foreign affairs officials from the United States, Europe, and Asia for an academic year to enhance understanding of nuclear issues in policy organizations where nuclear weapons are becoming increasingly salient. International Policy Fellows will participate in CNSP activities, attend courses, and write a capstone research paper under the supervision of CNSP faculty before returning to their government positions, with the intent to train the next generation of Policy subject matter experts in nuclear deterrence policy, extended deterrence, or nonproliferation/arms control policy.

Government organizations interested in more details, or in nominating a defense or foreign affairs official, should send inquiries to CNSP@mit.edu.
