Connector N.4

The European Safeguards Research and development Association ESARDA aims to bring together all those involved in safeguards, so that progress and continuous improvement in international safeguards can be achieved efficiently and to a professional standard. The principal issues are co-ordination of research, exchange of information and joint execution of R&D programmes. The ESARDA Connector provides general information on ESARDA and its members, working groups activities, news, upcoming events and technical articles, while peer-reviewed scientific and technical articles relating to safeguards and verification are published in the ESARDA Bulletin.
