I serve as an external advisor to ISYP whose efforts are closely related to my own in nuclear nonproliferation and youth involvement. Convisero mentors Talia Weiss, Maria Udolova, and soon to be Talia Wilcox are exemplary leaders in this space. Below is a demonstrative example of ISYP in action.

On 25 October 2024, the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP), the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), and International Student/Young Pugwash (ISYP) held the second edition of the “Engagement Opportunities in Arms Control, Disarmament, and Non-Proliferation for Young Professionals and Students” event. The virtual meeting provided key insights and hands-on advice on youth engagement and careers in the arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation space, and was attended by over 100 students and young professionals.
