Join the Arms Control Negotiation Academy and Reimagine

International Security

The Arms Control Negotiation Academy (ACONA) is a 12-month, high-level professional development program for a competitively selected cohort of rising international security experts and practitioners. The ambitious training curriculum addresses critical historical case studies, technological know-how, and advanced negotiation skills in the realm of arms control. Participants earn a Certificate in Arms Control Negotiation and become part of ACONA’s network of next-generation arms control negotiators. Each year, ACONA recruits a new cohort of Fellows.

If you are interested in addressing some of the most pressing national security questions of our time, while engaging with fellow professionals and experts from around the world, find out more about how to apply for an ACONA Fellowship here.
