The Simons Centre for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Research (SCDNPR) is an independent policy research centre and a joint undertaking of the Simons Foundation and the Liu Institute of Global Issues at UBC. SCDNPR is dedicated to addressing a more peaceful world through three pillars of disarmament: military threats to human security, demilitarization and global governance and to the development of a legal and political framework to ensure human security.
This year, our Issues programs include Iran and its nuclear ambitions and human rights issues, nuclear cooperation with India, North Korea’s nuclear programs and regional security co-operation in East Asia, space security, and the future of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Activities programs include Simons Student Policy Paper Program, the Speaker Series, Sponsored Conferences and various conference participations.
Vision
Be the world’s leading university-based center for research, education and advocacy on global nuclear disarmament.
Mission
Conduct education, research, advocacy, and outreach promoting progress toward global nuclear disarmament through realistic nuclear nonproliferation and arms control and effective international security cooperation.
