UK-US Academic Network in Nuclear Security and Non-Proliferation Skills
The NuSec Science Network are launching a new UK-US Academic Network in Nuclear Security and Non-Proliferation Skills in Partnership with the NNSA ETI, MTV and NSSC consortia.

NuSec will offer grants to support mobility and training activities to develop collaboration between UK and US researchers working in nuclear security and non-proliferation technologies.

NuSec-NNSA collaboration grants are available to UK researchers wishing to collaborate with the NNSA consortia on the following activities:-

• Short term postdoctoral research projects (up to 3 months), up to £15,000
• Undergraduate student interns/summer research projects, up to £2,000
• Research visits, up to £5,000
• Conferences, training and collaboration visits, up to £2,000.

A workshop will be held on 27-28 April 2021 to formally launch the call for UK applications and provide opportunities for US and UK researchers to connect. The main objective of the workshop will be to showcase the current research in nuclear security and non-proliferation from the UK and from the three NNSA consortia. The program will consist of invited presentations from UK and US researchers, and will include an overview of research activities carried out in the NNSA consortia.

The workshop will be run as a Zoom meeting over 2 consecutive afternoons 3-6.45pm (UK time). Attendance at both afternoon sessions is advised and workshop pre-registration is required.

Please visit this NuSec Website Events Web page for further details of the Workshop Program and How to Register.
