On Tuesday 4th September, the University of Birmingham hosted the Third Annual Symposium on \u201cThe Challenges to Trust Building in Nuclear Worlds\u201d entitled \u201cTrust, Cooperation and the Global Nuclear Future\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building on the success of previous years, the symposium aims once again to bring together early career researchers, established academics and practitioners working in the fields of trust research and\/or nuclear politics. The event was designed to facilitate interaction between all three groups while also enhancing collaboration between researchers across various social scientific disciplines such as international relations, psychology, and sociology.<\/p>\n

The conference was jointly hosted by the Institute for Conflict, Cooperation and Security (ICCS)<\/a> of the University of Birmingham and the Intelligence, Security and Strategic Studies<\/a> group (ISSS) of University of Leicester.<\/p>\n
