Nuclear Studies Research Initiative 

More info at the Kissinger Center

https://kissinger.sais-jhu.edu/nsri.html

The Nuclear Studies Research Initiative (NSRI) was established to support and expand a renaissance in nuclear studies by creating a platform for intellectual exchange, cross-fertilization, and mentorship. The initiative actively promotes work that transcends both national and disciplinary boundaries and seeks to contribute to addressing core policy challenges. Created in 2013 by the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project, the NSRI is now hosted by the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS and has been generously supported by both the Carnegie Corporation and the MacArthur Foundation.

Francis Gavin and Jane Vaynman are the co-founders of NSRI. Our most recent conference took place in Hamburg, Germany in December 2019.
