IGCC expressly involves the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories in its research projects whenever policy challenges require technical solutions toward promoting cooperation among nations. In IGCC's Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue and the Middle East Arms Control Workshops, lab participants have played integral roles. In regional cooperation dialogues, teaching seminars, and nuclear weapons policy conferences, lab technical specialists learn about regional policymaking, and UC faculty learn about the role of technology in building regional peace.
