High Schools

As the cornerstone of our summit, high school teams take the lead in our programming. Six selected high schools (comprising 3-7 students) will take center stage and present their research on various sub-topics connected to nuclear disarmament.

Space is available for high school teams wanting to attend the summit and learn from their peers. This is an exceptional opportunity to participate in meaningful dialogues, engage with experts, and shape future action.

University Students

We invite both undergraduate and graduate students with interests in international relations, peace studies, human rights, and environmental studies, among others, to join. This summit provides a unique forum to network and learn from global leaders in nuclear disarmament.

Space is limited, so please RSVP at your earliest convenience to secure your spot.
