ShareShort Course on Nuclear Weapon Issues in the 21st Century
November 2-3, 2013
The George Washington University
Elliott School of International Affairs
1957 E Street., NW
Washington, DC
Sponsored by the American Physical Society's Forum on Physics & Society and the George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs
A popular technical workshop is making a repeat performance. International experts will give the technical background to understand the issues. We recommend signing up early, as it probably will sell out.
The first two conferences on physics and nuclear weapon issues were published in American Institute of Physics Conference Proceedings #104 and #178.
Registration fee includes 24 talks, a 400-page book, and 2 lunches.
Banquet tickets are $30 and limited to the first 45 people who purchase tickets.
Registration deadline: October 25, 2013.
