Megatons to Megawatts Evaluation Working Seminars

The 2025 CNDSI Working Seminar was the first of three occasions that will be devoted to the evaluation of the M2M program. This will focus on the conditions that made M2M possible. It focused on the scientific cooperation between US and Soviet researchers; on the technical aspects and the motivations that preceded the launching of M2M. 

The following 2026 and 2027 Working Seminars will be dedicated to other aspects of M2M, as they emerge from interviews, and ongoing analysis. The seminars bring together practitioners, scholars, and younger generations to reflect on M2M and future pathways. All CNDSI Working Seminars will occur on the third Monday of June at Columbia University. They are by invitation only, and participants must attend in person.
