This presentation will give diplomats, high-level government officials, and selected academics from the region an introduction to the capacity-building support activities of the ISCN as the first Center of Excellence in Asia. It will mention the challenges that the region faces in ensuring that each country has the capacity, particularly the human resources, necessary to effectively meet its international safeguards obligations and its national nuclear security objectives. It will then briefly explain the history of the ISCN and outline the three types of training courses that the Center offers: safeguards/SSAC courses, nuclear security courses, and the international nonproliferation framework course.
