Seminars and conferences
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission will organise or co-organise seminars and conferences in order to have discussions with and receive input from people and organizations outside the Commission. Some of these will be arranged in connection with meetings of the Commission and others will be arranged separately. The WMDC may also cooperate with organisers of seminars and conferences that are of interest for the Commission, without being organiser or co-organiser.
Papers and reports published in connection with such conferences and seminars may also be posted at this website. The fact that the material is posted here does not in it self imply that the WMDC supports its content.
