🎥 Watch the highlights from @DrRobFloyd’s mission to Turkmenistan, where he engaged with senior leadership, young leaders from across Central Asia, and technical experts at the 🇹🇲 National Data Centre (NDC).
.@DrRobFloyd sat down with Vice Prime Minister Batyr Mammedov, who oversees Turkmenistan’s National Data Centre (NDC). The Executive Secretary also addressed participants of the regional Russian-language NDC training, recognising their vital contribution to the #CTBT verification system.
What an energising, forward-looking panel discussion with young Central Asian leaders, opened by Deputy Foreign Minister Bashimova at the 🇹🇲 Institute of International Relations. As the #CTBT marks its 30th anniversary, these emerging voices will be essential in shaping a world free of nuclear test explosions.
Delighted to meet with Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov in Ashgabat. Wonderful CTBT@30 event with all Central Asian States, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan. Appreciate the region’s support for the Treaty and its Intl. Monitoring System (IMS). Central Asia’s seven IMS stations contribute to the goal of a world free of nuclear test explosions.
A pleasure to begin my visit to Turkmenistan with a meeting with President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. 🇹🇲 has been with the CTBT from the very beginning, signing the Treaty on the day it opened for signature, and is home to primary seismic station PS44 in Alibek, a valued contribution to the Treaty’s verification system and to global peace and security. Grateful for the continued partnership in support of the CTBT.

#DYK? Beyond detecting nuclear test explosions, the #CTBT’s data can help protect our planet. Accessible to States Signatories, it supports vital scientific research. Learn about the civil and scientific applications of our data this #WorldEnvironmentDay. 🔗https://t.co/g9FU8ZcEqc
Support for the #CTBT is nearly universal. With 187 signatures & 178 ratifications, the 🌍 determination to end nuclear test explosions is more powerful than ever. As the Treaty marks its 30th anniv. year, we stand together to reaffirm that commitment.
One Treaty. One Goal. Zero Tests.

Last week, 29 participants from 14 National Data Centres across South-East Asia, the Pacific, and the Far East wrapped up an intensive training on accessing and analysing Intl. Monitoring System waveform data & Intl. Data Centre products - growing the 🌎 network of experts keeping our verification system strong.
In late April, 25 radionuclide and waveform operators from 22 countries came together in Vienna & #CTBTO TeST Centre in Seibersdorf for three days of training on the systems that keep station data authenticated and trusted across our global monitoring network 📡.
The majority were from G77 & Latin American and Caribbean States 🌍, reflecting how far the IMS reaches and the shared commitment to banning nuclear test explosions.
On International Women’s Day for Peace & Disarmament, we celebrate the vital role of women in advancing global peace and security. At #CTBTO, we remain committed to amplifying women’s voices and leadership as we work together towards a world free of #nuclear test explosions.
📉 50+ experts. 28 countries. 3 days.
The HPC Workshop for Nuclear Test Explosion Monitoring wrapped up in Vienna earlier this month. In a hybrid format, participants worked with AI, deep learning & quantum algorithms - and came away with new ideas, new connections, and a shared commitment to a world 🌎 free of nuclear test explosions.
At a Masterclass with @BASIC_int’s senior Emerging Voices Network, @DrRobFloyd joined the #nextgen of leaders for a dynamic conversation, bringing his own experience to the table while connecting with the fresh thinking in the room. The discussion reflected a shared commitment to #CTBTO’s mission and the important role that young people can play in advancing a world free of nuclear test explosions.
The 5th cycle of the CTBTO Mentoring Programme officially kicked off, welcoming a record 50 #Mentees this year! 👩🔬💡
We are also delighted to announce that this year’s cohort will join our CYG community, where they will connect and contribute their expertise as #CYG members🌟
This Monday, @DrRobFloyd addressed the 69th session of Working Group A, the body that advises the #CTBTO Preparatory Commission on budgetary and administrative matters: "Your continued resolute commitment to the #CTBT is both encouraging and inspiring."
📣 The 5th cycle of the #CTBTO Mentoring Programme is officially underway and with 50 mentees from six geographical regions🌍, it is our largest cohort yet! Together with their mentors, participants are starting a journey of learning, collaboration and professional growth, while deepening their understanding of the CTBTO’s mission to end nuclear test explosions. We look forward to their ideas and contributions as the #NextGen continues to help shape a safer future. 🔗Learn more: https://t.co/uxu6teyQfe
