Results: 80% of participants were from academic education institutions and 20% from training and policy institutes
96% of participants are interested in research on Nuclear Security education/training
88% are willing to participate into research on Nuclear Security education/training.
80% indicate a need for a workshop on research methods in Nuclear Security education/training
92% are interested in Case studies in Nuclear Security Education/training.
88% are willing to participate in Workshops on developing and using case studies in Nuclear Security education/training.
Conclusion: There is a need to foster research in Nuclear Security education; also, there is need for workshops on research methods in Nuclear Security education.
