SUMMARY:18th Asian Security Conference - Securing Cyberspace: Asian and International Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Concept Note\n\n\nThe Asian Security Conference (ASC) is a major calendar event of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA)\, New Delhi. Since 1999\, when the conference was first held\, the ASC has emerged as an important platform for debating issues relating to Asian Security. For the last ten years\, the ASC has been providing a forum for security analysts\, practitioners and policy makers from around the world to share their views on the challenges facing the Asian continent. The eighteenth conference in this series is being held on the topic “Securing Cyberspace: Asian and International Perspectives”. \nCybersecurity is increasingly drawing attention from policy makers as the world becomes increasingly interlinked and dependent on digital pathways. Use of cyber space by governments\, businesses and individuals has provided economic benefits and helped connect the world in beneficial ways. Simultaneously\, however\, there are attempts being made by state and non-state actors to deny its legitimate use by others. Use of cyber space for espionage\, both commercial and security-related\, are common. Its use by criminals and extremists is no less dangerous. Managing this nascent and rapidly developing threat has proved to be problematic given that it now touches almost every aspect of human existence\, from communication to commerce. It equally impact on a variety of stakeholders\, individuals\, corporations and states\, all with differing priorities and perspectives. The large number of users and actors involved\, and their varying perceptions of the threats and responses to emanating from cyber space have led to conflicting voices on how best to mitigate and overcome them. \nEven as the connected systems and networks have grown more intertwined and complex\, Cyberspace is being used for a variety of malicious activities\, from crime to state-sponsored attacks on critical infrastructure. The interconnectedness of cyber networks means that even the most basic responses end up having a ripple effect or unintended consequences. Maintaining a balance between security and benefitting from the many opportunities provided by the deployment of new cyber technologies is proving to be one of the most vexatious issues of the 21st century. \nThe risk from cyber threats to government agencies\, private enterprises\, public sector undertakings and research institutions of strategic importance can manifest in many forms. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack can disrupt business operations or it may cause severe outages\, thereby having a direct impact on their revenue and reputation. Companies also face the risk of losing trade secrets or intellectual property rights. Moreover\, a massive data breach for companies or governance portals storing data of customers or citizens can compromise personal information. A cyber-attack on entities that are part of critical infrastructure can have a debilitating impact on national security. The risk increases manifold for electricity grids\, nuclear installations\, and telemetry/command and control network of space assets. Surprisingly\, social media\, as a threat vector\, has become a channel of least resistance for threat actors to conduct reconnaissance\, identity thefts and gather information on employees\, projects\, systems and infrastructure\, besides spreading hateful propaganda and enticing impressionable youth to follow extremist ideologies.\nCyberspace has become an intricate constituent of national power. The strategies for the development of Cyberspace are not just restricted to civilian purposes; rather\, this domain now falls well under the ambit of the armed forces. With the advent of Network Centricity in military operations and Revolution in Military Affairs\, armed forces are at elevated risk of cyber incidents. The integrated use of land\, air\, maritime and space assets for enhanced domain awareness or real-time information access warrants the armed forces to build expertise in both defensive and offensive cyber operations. Nation states have documented their Cyber Strategies and executed them in the form of Cyber Commands\, both overt and covert. With the military dimension\, Cyberspace is witnessing a race for development and deployment of cyber weapons. An arms control regime\, the Wassenaar Arrangement has enlarged its controls list in consonance with the way Cyberspace has altered present day security landscape. The development of cyber weapons and their potential usage against high value targets has been one of the major security concerns for nation states.  \nThe threats in Cyberspace are varying in nature and intensity. Leading companies operating in the domains of energy\, telecommunications\, finance\, and transportation sectors are targets of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). Non-state actors\, such as terrorist organizations and criminal syndicates have become tech-savvy\, thereby employing human resources to develop malware.  These tools are used extensively in committing Cybercrime. Terrorist organizations leverage the benefits of Cyberspace\, harnessing it for ideology propagation\, recruitment and communication. The terrorist organization\, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been a prime case study.  It has tremendous presence on social media helps spread its propaganda and recruit sympathizers across the globe.  Al-Qaeda is also reported to have developed encryption software to secure their communication in Cyberspace. \nAs the extent of commerce transacted over Cyberspace grows\, along with increasing reliance on information technology to drive cost-efficiencies\, the risk exposure to enterprises have increased. According to the 2013 Security Threat Report published by the cyber security company\, Sophos\, Asia accounted for eight of the top-10 countries most vulnerable to Cybercrime. Asia\, the largest continent on earth\, represents 60 percent of the world’s population. It is the fastest growing economic region globally. On the other hand\, the unprecedented growth of rising economies\, rapid industrialisation\, rising demand for energy\, expanding markets and\, depleting natural resources have led to competition and confrontation with respect to the access and control of resources. As Asia continues to grow its share of the global trade and commerce\, the threats from cyber-attacks are expected to increase in tandem. \nCyber-attacks\, like many of the new security challenges\, are transnational in origin and nature\, and no nation can combat them alone. Despite variations in ethnic\, economic and government systems\, Asian countries need robust security architecture to resolve the issues specific to the geographical region as well as international issues detrimental to Asia’s economic and societal growth. \nWith the shift of power towards Asia\, its representation in the rule-making mechanisms and inputs towards creating a secure cyberspace is critical to international politics\, the world economy\, and the credibility of international institutions and cybersecurity regimes. Within Asia\, cyber threats have altered the security perceptions of institutions and government systems. Against this backdrop\, the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses\, New Delhi will organise the 18th Asian Security Conference focusing on the emerging threats and challenges from cyber domain to national and regional security. The two-and-a-half-day conference will consider international and regional responses to cyber security and the scope for cooperation amidst varying national policy frameworks and legislations. \nThe major themes to be discussed include the following:  \n\nThe Global Cybersecurity Environment\nInternational and Regional Responses to issues in Cybersecurity\nNon-State Actors and Cyberspace\nSecuring Strategic Critical Infrastructure\nCybersecurity and the Digital Economy\nRole of Military in Cybersecurity\nDisruptive Technologies and Cybersecurity\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme Schedule\n\n\nTuesday\, February 9\, 2016 (DAY ONE)\n09:15-09:40	Registration \n09:45-10:15	Inaugural Address\nWelcome Remarks: Shri Jayant Prasad\, Director General\, IDSA\nKey Note Address: Air Marshal PP Reddy VM\, ADC\, Chief of Integrated Defence Staff\nVote of Thanks: Brig.

SUMMARY:Delhi Dialogue VIII: ASEAN-India Relations: A New Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Concept Note\nDelhi Dialogue is an annual Track 1.5 forum for discussing  politico-security\, economic and socio-cultural issues between ASEAN and India.  Since 2009 when the conference was first held\, Delhi Dialogue has emerged as an  important forum at which political leaders\, policy makers\, researchers\,  academicians\, business leaders and media persons converge for brainstorming on  a range of issues pertaining to ASEAN-India relations.  \n  The ASEAN-India  relationship is one of the cornerstones of India’s foreign policy and Act East  policy\, which has deepened across the three pillars of politico-security\,  economic and socio-cultural cooperation. The recently concluded 13th  ASEAN-India Summit and 10th East Asia Summit in November 2015 in Kuala Lumpur\,  Malaysia\, have defined a dynamic trajectory for ASEAN-India relations. The  formalization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) would also need a new  approach towards India’s engagement with ASEAN.\n \n  Keeping this  context in mind and as India moves towards completing 25 years of its dialogue  relationship with the ASEAN region\, Delhi Dialogue VIII is appropriately themed  “ASEAN-India Relations: A New Paradigm”.   \n  The key themes of  ASEAN-India relationship today will be highlighted in the Inaugural Session and  its two panel discussions (with Indian and South East Asian leaders  participating) relating to Connectivity and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).  \n          Delhi Dialogue VIII  will also provide a larger canvas for the business leaders and the business  community of both sides to share their vision for a more robust economic  engagement between ASEAN and India. \nDay 1: 17 February 2016 -Business Session\nPlenary Session I: Co-Manufacturing: Creating Manufacturing Value  Chains (FICCI) \n          There is a renewed  focus on the manufacturing sector in India\, especially with introduction of the  “Make in India” initiative. India and ASEAN have immense potential in terms of  creating regional value chains that act as a driver for regional economic  integration. The ASEAN-India FTA which was initially limited to trade in goods  has been expanded to include the agreement on trade in services and investment  with effect from 1 July 2015. Manufacturers and businesses\, both in India and  ASEAN\, are yet to fully capitalize on the existence of this Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement. This session would discuss the nuances of co-manufacturing  within India and ASEAN\, with particular focus on identification of goods\,  services and FDI sectors with complementarities between India and ASEAN. It  would also identify barriers to co-manufacturing and suggest ways to surmount  them.  \nPlenary Session II: What Do Mega Trade Blocs-RCEP and TPP Mean for  ASEAN and India? (CII) \nOngoing negotiations for regional trading agreements involving  ASEAN member states including the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership  (RCEP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)   has the potential to alter the regional trade architecture. Responding  to the emergent institutional architectures require greater strategic planning  and implementation. This Session would examine how the FTA between ASEAN and  India would be impacted under the broader RCEP and TPP frameworks and offer a  blueprint of how Indian and ASEAN Trade and Commerce entities should calibrate  their market strategy and manage internal reforms in order to be able to take  maximum benefit from these emerging trade blocs. \nPlenary Session III: Infrastructure  and Sustainable Energy for Realizing India ASEAN Economic Integration (ASSOCHAM) \nAt the 13th ASEAN-India Summit on 21 November\, Prime Minister\,  Shri. Narendra Modi\, had invited ASEAN member states to participate in the  launch and also to join the International Solar Alliance (ISA) of 122  solar-rich countries. In the backdrop of the launch of this alliance on 30  November in Paris\, amidst global climate change concerns\, the need for  developing and using sustainable energy is acutely felt. This session would explore  the potential of co-production of renewable energy (wind power\, solar power\,  biomass\, hydropower\, biofuels\, etc.) and use of clean technology\, a broad base  of processes\, practices and tools\, in any industry that supports a sustainable  business approach\, including but not limited to pollution control\, resource  reduction and management\, end of life strategy\, waste reduction\, energy  efficiency\, carbon mitigation and profitability. \nPlenary Session IV: Promoting Cross  Border Trade with ASEAN: Capitalising on Comparative Advantage (ICC)  \nBoth India and ASEAN have sectors with  significant competitive edge including energy\, transport and logistics from the  view of ASEAN’s investment into India and engineering services\, education and  tourism services for Indian investment in ASEAN. The establishment of the ASEAN  Economic Community is another milestone in the regional economic integration  agenda of ASEAN. The Session would cover several aspects of ASEAN-India trade  and investment relations\, identify new frontiers in trade and investment\, and  discuss the way ahead for enhanced trade and investment cooperation between  ASEAN and India. \nPlenary Session V: ASEAN-India Cooperation in Start-ups (AIAI) \nIndia and ASEAN are seen as new growth areas for start-ups. ASEAN is  one of the most diverse and competitive regions in the world with countries  like Singapore\, Malaysia\, Philippines and Thailand attracting multinationals.  ASEAN has become a launch pad for start-ups\, the region now accounts for 38% of  Asia’s market for initial public offerings. Indian start-ups are growing  rapidly and India is home to more than 5\,000 start-ups across all verticals of  the industry involving technology companies and other sectors. The session aims  to frame the broad contours of an ASEAN-India ecosystem to facilitate the  convergence of technology\, integration across diverse fields\, distributed  architecture and people willing to back an idea. The discussions in this  session would deliberate upon Start-up Funding; Understanding the Market for a  Start-up / Branding and Marketing; ASEAN-India Digital Future; Role of State  and Regional Governments and Policies and Initiatives for encouraging  start-ups. \nDay 2: 18 February 2016 -Ministerial  Session\n          The Ministerial Session will be  attended by EAM\, Foreign Ministers of ASEAN countries and Chief Ministers of  North Eastern States of India. It will include speeches and two panel  discussions; viz. (i) Connectivity: Creating Pathways to a  Shared Future; and (ii) ASEAN Economic Community and India: Building Regional  Value Chains.  \nPanel Discussion I: Connectivity: Creating Pathways to a Shared  Future \n          Connectivity  is the focal point in the ASEAN-India Strategic Partnership. With completion of  the Motor Vehicle Agreement negotiation\, implementation of India  -Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway has progressed further\, thereby bringing  the two regions much closer to each other with the North Eastern region as the  pivot. The panel comprising Heads of Delegation from ASEAN countries and  the Chief Ministers of North Eastern States of India would deliberate upon: \n\n      Land Connectivity \nAir Connectivity\nMaritime  Connectivity: a more cooperative and integrated future for the  region through overall development of the ocean-based Blue economy. \nRole of  public-private sector participation (PPP) in connectivity projects           and creation of economic corridors to  leverage physical connectivity.\n Digital connectivity.\n\n  Panel Discussion II: ASEAN Economic Community and India: Integrating Regional Value Chains  and Production Networks  \n          To  integrate ASEAN and India fully into the global economy\, enhanced participation  in global supply networks as well as stronger value chains between them is crucial.  To effectively utilize the mega regional trade agreement such as RCEP\, a  connected ASEAN with India in terms of value chains therefore holds utmost  significance. This Session will be attended by senior leaders of ASEAN member  states and India\, who would attempt to identify the challenges for ASEAN and  India in integrating with regional and global value chains for creating  sustainable production activities\, technology intensive manufacturing and  knowledge intensive services. The session would also examine how to create  value chains by nurturing physical\, institutional and people-to-people  connectivity and the ways ASEAN member states\, especially the CLMV countries\,  would benefit from the integration of India into South East Asian value chains.  \nVote of Thanks by Mr Jayant Prasad\, DG\, IDSA \nDay 3: 19th February 2016 -Academic Session\nThe Academic Session will focus on  themes ranging from ASEAN-India and the Security of the Asia-Pacific\, including  the threat from extremism; the Ocean Economy Dynamics; Reinvigorating the  Civilisational Links; and the Way Forward for ASEAN-India Relations.  \n\n\nTime\n\nSession \n\n\n\n0900    hrs\n\nRegistration \n    Venue: Auditorium\, IDSA\n\n\n\n0930-0935    hrs\n\nWelcome    Remarks by Mr Jayant Prasad\, DG\, IDSA \n\n\n\n0935-0950 hrs\n\nKeynote Address by Secretary (East)\, MEA\,    Government of India   \n\n\n\n1000-1130    hrs\n\nASEAN and the Security of the Asia Pacific \n        Chair: Shri Nalin Surie\, Director General\,  Indian Council of World Affairs\, New Delhi \n        Speakers:  \n\nHRH Norodom Sirivudh\, Member of    the Constitutional Council\, Privy Counselor to His Majesty\, the King of    Cambodia\nAmb.

SUMMARY:International Conference on India’s Role in Global Nuclear Governance
DESCRIPTION:IDSA-PRIO Conference\nConcept Note\nThis conference brings together scholars working on global nuclear governance in India and abroad to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the emerging nuclear governance architecture. It focuses on how India can play a more proactive role as a driver of new ideas on the subject. In assessing India’s role in global nuclear governance\, we seek to include both nuclear security issues and non-proliferation frameworks. The convergence will expose whether it is possible to envision a holistic nuclear governance and non-proliferation architecture. \nWhile preparing for the next Nuclear Security Summit\, scheduled for 31 March – 1 April 2016\, it is pertinent to review and discuss the roadmap and the Indian involvement for a robust nuclear security regime. This conference explores the possibility of developing a more comprehensive alternative to the fragmented nuclear security mechanisms today. \nUnderstanding global nuclear governance requires an investigation of a number of safety\, security and safeguards mechanisms. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and multilateral export control regimes such as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)\, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)\, Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI)\, Container Security Initiative (CSI) and UN Security Council Resolution 1540 are some prominent instruments of global nuclear governance. \nNuclear Safety is an indispensable need for operation of any programme of nuclear science. Nuclear safety is an integral part of both domestic and global nuclear governance. A network of institutions such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and World Association of Nuclear Operators are in the forefront of global nuclear governance. These institutions supported development and implementation of regulatory mechanisms for nuclear safety. Several best practices for nuclear safety were devised in these institutions. The Fukushima incidents underlined the need for paying more attention to nuclear safety. The international community discussed the gap in the measures and mechanisms for nuclear safety. India has had a long association with nuclear safety even when it had some reservations on the need for nuclear security and the structure of safeguards. \nThe United States President\, Barack Obama\, pushed nuclear security at the centre of global security governance in general and global nuclear governance in particular. The Nuclear Security Summit Process\, initiated at the behest of the American President\, galvanised global public opinion for nuclear security to counter nuclear and radiological terrorism. The two conventions for nuclear security had more members than before\, yet ratification of the Amendment of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials could not take place because of the absence of the required number. The support for different instruments of nuclear security increased after the first Nuclear Security Summit in 2010. India has been an active partner of the summit process. After the beginning of the summit process\, the establishment of the Global Centre of Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP) is the most notable of all the initiatives taken by India. \nThe NPT is also a key instrument for global nuclear governance. A key problem with the NPT is that only the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are recognized as ‘nuclear weapon states’. Three states—India\, Pakistan and Israel—have never signed the NPT. Although India\, which is a nuclear weapon country\, is not a signatory to the NPT\, it is supportive of global nuclear disarmament. At the same time\, India also has an ambitious programme for civilian uses of nuclear energy to meet its growing energy needs. India is currently considering thorium as a future substitute for fuelling its nuclear reactors. \nThe conference has the following themes: \n\nUnderstanding Global Nuclear Governance\nChallenges and Opportunities for Global Nuclear Governance\nIndia and Global Nuclear Governance\nMultilateral Export Control Regimes and India\nNuclear Security\, the Summit Process and Global Nuclear Governance\nThe 2016 Nuclear Security Summit and After: Setting the agenda\nExisting Nuclear Security Institutions: Coordination and Integration\nRole of Civil Society in Nuclear Security\n\nDownload Conference Report \nProgramme\nDay 1 (February 24\, 2016)\n0930-1000: Registration\n1000-1030: Inaugural Session\nChair: Jayant Prasad \nOpening Address by Shri Amandeep Singh Gill\, Joint Secretary\, Disarmament & International Security Affairs\, Ministry of External Affairs \n1030-1045 Tea/Coffee break \n1045-1300 Session-1: Understanding Global Nuclear Governance\nGlobal Nuclear Governance- an oft-used phrase- at times\, means differently for its users. Dominant writings on the subject restrict the scope of the phrase to safety\, security and non-proliferation. However\, a strong section of the international policy making community wants nuclear disarmament part of global nuclear governance. The session will discuss different perspectives on Global Nuclear Governance. The idea will be to examine whether different perspectives can have some common areas to start implementing the idea of global nuclear governance.\nChair : C Uday Bhaskar\nSPEAKERS \n\nTrevor Findlay — Principal Fellow \, School of Social and Political Sciences\, University of Melbourne\nWPS Sidhu — Non Resident Senior fellow\, Brookings India\nShalini Chawla\nSenior Fellow\, Centre for Air Power Studies\nAnna Sliwon — Consultant\, British Pugwash\n\n1300 Luncheon Address by Dr Jitendra Singh\, Minister of State\, Prime Minister Office \n1330-1415 Lunch \n1415-1615 Session-2: Challenges and Opportunities for Global Nuclear Governance \nWith the evolution of the idea of Global Nuclear Governance\, the international community is finding its usefulness for managing diverse activities of nuclear science and technology. Different sections of the international community are participating in global nuclear governance. The participation of civil society and the global expert community has immensely benefited global nuclear governance. Still\, for global nuclear governance to become really effective and functioning\, the international community has to confront some key challenges. Institutions and processes of global nuclear governance need to be well co-ordinated and properly funded. The technological solution is another challenge. The session will discuss challenges and opportunities for global governance.\nChair: RR Subramanian\nSPEAKERS \n\nCindy Vestergaard — Senior Researcher\, International Security at the Danish Institute for International Studies\nG Balachandran — Consulting Fellow\, IDSA\nRajesh Rajagopalan — Professor of International Politics\, Centre for International Politics\, Organisation and Disarmament\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\nPatricia Lewis — Research Director\, International Security\nThe Royal Institute of International Affairs\, Chatham House\n\n1615-1630 Tea/Coffee break \n1630-1830 Session-3: Global Nuclear Governance and India \nIndia supports the idea of global governance. Since the idea of global governance in general and global nuclear governance in particular is still evolving\, India\, so far\, has associated itself with the current general understanding of global governance. India has contributed to global nuclear governance in most of the international institutions meant for global nuclear governance. India has also participated in the making and implementation of the regimes for global nuclear governance. The international community expects a rising power like India to shape the very evolution of global governance by addressing challenges it is facing now. This session will discuss how India is approaching global nuclear governance and how it can contribute to meeting challenges of global nuclear governance.\nChair : Virendra Gupta\nSPEAKERS \n\nArvind Awati — Scientist\, Department of Atomic Energy\, Mumbai\nReynaldo Morales\, Former Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, New Mexico\nSteinar Hoibraten — Chief Scientist\, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI)\nRoshan Khaniejo — Senior Research Fellow & Research Coordinator\, United Service Institution of India\n\nDay-2 (February 25\, 2016)\n1000-1200 Session-4: Multilateral Export Control Regimes and India\nMultilateral export control regimes are important centers for managing global commerce in high technology items. The Nuclear Suppliers Group\, the Missile Technology Control Regime\, the Australia Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement are the four relevant multilateral export control regimes in the contemporary world. In the twenty first century\, the world is witnessing changes in these regimes. Although these regimes still have a small membership base\, yet over the years\, it is attracting members from the developing world as well. India is seeking membership of these export controls regimes. The session will discuss how the Indian membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime is going to contribute to global nuclear governance.\nChair: K Santhanam\nSPEAKERS \n\nIan Stewart — Senior Research Fellow\, Department of War Studies \, King’s College London\nArvind Madhavan — Director\, Disarmament & International Security Affairs\, Ministry of External Affairs\nBenjamin Hautecouverture — Research Fellow \,Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique \, Paris\nAnupam Srivastava — Director of the Asia Program\, Center for International Trade and Security\, University of Georgia\n\n1200-1215 Tea/Coffee Break \n1215-1315 Session-5: The Way Forward\nChair: C Raja Mohan \nPanel Discussion  \n\nDr.Sheel Kant Sharma — Former Secretary General of SAARC\nBruno Hellendorff\, Researcher\, Group for Research and Information on Peace and Security (GRIP )\nPriyanjali Malik — Independent researcher\n\n1315-1400 Lunch \nFocus: Nuclear Security and India\n1400-1430 Opening Session: Nuclear Security\nChair: Jayant Prasad\nOpening Address: R B Grover — Vice-Chancellor\, Homi Bhabha National Institute \nNuclear terrorism has emerged as a serious threat to global security. International efforts are on to secure vulnerable nuclear materials\, disintegrating black markets\, and detect\, intercept and recover illicitly trafficked materials. The process towards global nuclear security architecture that is comprehensive and based on international standards needs to be further strengthened. This enhances international confidence in nations’ nuclear security implementation and also helps reduce global stocks of nuclear weapons-usable materials. India has been playing an active role in strengthening the global nuclear security architecture. \n1430-1630 Session-1: Nuclear Security\, the Summit Process and Global Nuclear Governance\nConsidering nuclear terrorism a serious international security issue\, the Nuclear Security Summits intend to raise awareness among governments and civil society and galvanise them into securing vulnerable nuclear material from falling into the hands of Non state actors and pre-vent proliferation of nuclear weapons. The three Nuclear Summits held at Washington(2010)\, Seoul (2012) and the Hague (2014) have generated a lot of positive momentum and have achieved tangible improvements in the security of nuclear materials and encouraged the development of stronger international institutions that support nuclear security. The International Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and International convention on the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism besides the landmark UNSC resolution 1540 found more members. India has enthusiastically participated in the summits and contributed to global nuclear governance. The session will review the nuclear security scenario. It will also review the contribution of the summit process to nuclear security and global nuclear governance.\nChair: S. Gangotra\nSPEAKERS \n\nVladimir Rybachenkov — Senior Research Associate\, Center for Arms Control\, Energy and Environmental Studies\, Moscow\nK.L. Ramakumar — Distinguished Scientist and Head\, Nuclear Controls and Planning Wing\, Department of Atomic Energy\nRanajit Kumar — Head Physical Protection Systems Section\, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre\n\n1630-1645 Tea/Coffee Break \n1645-1830 Session-2: The 2016 Nuclear Security Summit and After: Setting the agenda\nThe upcoming nuclear security summit in Washington could be the last of the four and there is a marked urgency to institutionalise a permanent mechanism to address global nuclear security concerns. How successfully have states followed up on pledges of the previous summits and which institution will lead the agenda beyond Washington (2016)? It is expected that the IAEA’s role at the helm of the non-proliferation regime is only slated to be-come all the more indispensable thereafter. India continues to contribute towards a comprehensive nuclear security architecture that will strengthen nuclear governance and increase the confidence of the nuclear security regime. Should the summit process be restructured? Does the international community need a new institution? Should the world have a new regime? Or should we adapt the existing mechanisms for new challenges and requirements? The session will discuss ideas for the 2016 summit and how to steer activities after-wards in different international organisations and forums. \nChair: K.L. Ramakumar\nSPEAKERS \n\nVitaly Fedchenko — Senior Researcher \, European Security Programme\, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute\nAnil Kumar — Inspector General (Security) \, Department of Atomic Energy\nH P Nawada — Scientific Officer\, Nuclear Controls and Planning Wing\, Department of Atomic Energy\n\nDay-3 (February 26\, 2016)\n1000-1200 Session-3: Existing Nuclear Security Institutions: Coordination and Integration\nThe Nuclear Security Summits witnessed the resolve by states to establish Centres of Excellence (COE) across the globe that will provide world-class research\, training and education on various nuclear security topics. The GCNEP (Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership) that is coming up in India is slated to provide the ideal platform to strengthen the various dimensions of nuclear security in India. Some of the other COE’s include EU Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CBRN CoEs)\,Pakistan’s Centre of Excellence for Nuclear Security (PCENS)\, Middle East Scientific Institute for Security (MESIS) and Japan’s Integrated Support Center for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Security (ISCN).The smooth interface among the above and IAEA is deemed crucial. The session will discuss how to enhance coordination among different international\, multilateral\, regional\, and national bodies working for nuclear security. It will also discuss whether the international community can integrate their efforts.\nChair: Arvind Awati\nSPEAKERS \n\nLuca Lentini — Project Coordinator & Research Associate\, Centre for Science and Security Studies\, King’s College London\nReshmi Kazi — Associate Fellow\, IDSA\nY.S. Mayya — Project Director\, Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership\n\n1200-1215 Tea/Coffee Break \n1215-1330 Session-4: Role of Civil Society in Nuclear Security\nRole of civil society is pivotal in any regime. Who are the various actors among the civil society and how have they transformed the discourse on nuclear security? Some Intergovernmental organisations have made the discourse on nuclear security richer and relevant and are helping chalk out the agenda and strengthening the existing global nuclear security architecture. The Fissile Material Working Group–a coalition of non-governmental organisations—has spearheaded the campaign for nuclear security. This can play a different kind of role in organizing the global expert community and undertaking new tasks after the end of the possible summit process. The session will discuss the future role for international\, regional and national non-governmental organisations.\nChair: NN Jha\nSPEAKERS  \n\nNoel Stott — Senior Research Fellow\, Transnational Threats and International Crime Division\, Institute of Security Studies (ISS)\, Pretoria\nRajiv Nayan — Senior Research Associate\, IDSA\nPaul Walker — Director\, Environmental Security and Sustainability\nGreen Cross International \, Washington DC\nBharat Karnad — Research Professor in National Security Studies\, Centre for Policy Research\n\n1330-1430 Lunch \n1430-1530 Wrap up and the future agenda\nChair: Jayant Prasad\nPanel Discussion
