Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament

In an increasingly uncertain world, the risk of nuclear weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time. The Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament (AMC) was established in 2021 at Uppsala University, Sweden, to provide teaching, research, and policy support on nuclear disarmament. AMC studies the whole process in which nuclear disarmament occurs; i.e., preconditions and hurdles, negotiations and decision-making, and implementation and verification. AMC combines insights from different disciplines such as peace and conflict research, applied nuclear physics, and international law. In cooperation with other stakeholders, AMC disseminates knowledge of nuclear disarmament by holding and hosting conferences and workshops. AMC raises public awareness about nuclear disarmament and contributes to the public debate on the challenges of disarmament work.
