 Over 600 experts from 93 countries are at the IAEA in Vienna to participate in the Symposium on International Safeguards. The IAEA verifies that states are using nuclear materials and technology for peaceful purposes and activity known as safeguards. It is a unique opportunity for the entire global safeguard community to come together and discuss our work. During the conference participants will discuss challenges and opportunities in safeguards including strengthening partnerships and innovative solutions. The Safeguard Symposium will address topics that touch both technical and policy challenges. It's not only a time to have specific presentations but also to have interactions and meet with colleagues from around the world and from all different sectors so that we can develop solutions together and identify and address challenges together. Different side events will also cover topics such as technological developments and regional cooperation. From Vienna, Austria, this is Alejandra Silva reporting for the IAEA.
