Completed arms control
& disarmament projects VERTIC's research focuses on the progress of implementing the Additional Protocol, as well as the attempt by the IAEA to achieve integrated safeguards to improve effectiveness and efficiency. VERTIC also monitors the progress of other safeguards-related issues, including the Trilateral Initiative involving Russia, the US and the IAEA, and attempts to initiate negotiations on a fissile material 'cut-off' treaty at the Conference on Disarmament (CD) in Geneva. In its work VERTIC cooperates with the international safeguards community, including the IAEA, the European Safeguards Research and Development Association (ESARDA) and the International Safeguards Division (ISD) of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM), along with national safeguards offices, including including the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office (ASNO).
