About the PNW Center for Global Security
The Pacific Northwest Center for
Global Security (PNWCGS) was established in October 1998 by the Department of Energy's 
Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory.
A central purpose of the PNWCGS is to develop a better understanding of the threats posed by environmental, energy, and human security issues and to reduce those threats, especially in regions where the stakes of tension and instability are raised by the presence of weapons of mass destruction. A corollary purpose is to help minimize the conditions under which nations or people proliferate weapons of mass destruction.
Key Center Initiatives
 | Innovative Approaches
and Programs - The PNWCGS supports innovative
approaches and programs to respond
to the changing conditions of the post-cold war world that reduce weapons
and stockpiles and production capabilities, control the disposition of
nuclear materials and technology, address the root causes of regional
tensions, and foster multilateral public-private cooperation. |
| Outreach - PNWCGS sponsors enlivening
discussion within the technical community and among technical experts,
policy makers, and the general public on nonproliferation and related
topics. Our outreach activities include Conferences
& Seminars, a periodic Newsletter,
and general public dialogue. |
| Education - PNWCGS partners with universities and other organizations to educate the
next generation of specialists in the technical and policy dimensions of
nonproliferation. Among other activities, the Center
co-sponsors the Institute for Global and Regional Security Studies (IGRSS)
(See our Partnerships
page for more details). |
