The conference explored political and expert views related to recent developments within all three pillars of the Prague Security Agenda - arms control, non-proliferation and nuclear security and their interrelations.

Over the past year the strengthening of nuclear regimes through NPT and CTBT has faced several challenges as tensions regarding not verified nuclear programmes grew and an international crisis loomed on the horizon. At the same time, a new interest was spurred in ensuring nuclear security and safe use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Our conference, with its aim to constructively link the relevant agendas, provided a timely opportunity to discuss ideas on future developments of these issues.
