International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy
The International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy was a series of expert meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, focusing on civilian uses of nuclear energy and developments in nuclear engineering. Four conferences were hosted in total, each with significant contributions from nations with nuclear programs and expertise in the field, e. g. the United States, Soviet Union, Great Britain, India, etc. Large volumes of unclassified information were shared and documented in the United Nations' proceedings.

Before the conference, the Atoms for Peace program set the course for international cooperation and a comprehensive effort to address nuclear issues during the Cold War. Shortly after the first meeting in 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was founded with the mission to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Through the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) of 1968, the IAEA was also tasked with preventing the diversion of nuclear technology and materials for military purposes.
