Oppenheimer
Project
J Robert Oppenheimer famously viewed nuclear fission as a profound symbol of human choice: we can unite to use advanced technologies for collective benefit, or we can wield them in ways that threaten our very existence.
The Oppenheimer Project honors J. Robert Oppenheimer’s vision by transforming nuclear fission from a source of fear into a force for peace. We bring together leaders across government, philanthropy, international agencies, and civil society to advance nuclear energy solutions that reduce weapons proliferation and secure a stable climate future. Less weapons, more energy—for the generations to come.
How We Work
We bridge divides and connect the dots—building an ecosystem where government, diplomacy, civil society, philanthropy, and international agencies work together to advance nuclear solutions. As a dynamic engagement hub, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted partner capable of convening influential stakeholders and driving meaningful change.
Convene
We convene leaders across government, philanthropy, civil society, and international organizations for strategic dialogues on nuclear energy, nonproliferation, and broader technological challenges that catalyze action.
Engage
We advance policy solutions and nuclear literacy. We work with decision-makers and organizations like the IAEA to accelerate responsible nuclear deployment while reducing weapons risks, and we shift public narratives by clearing up myths and creating new frameworks for discussing nuclear technology.
Cultivate
We cultivate the next generation of thought leaders and expand nuclear governance globally through regional partnerships, publications in major outlets, and collaborative thought leadership that keeps international cooperation at the center of our work.
Every initiative we undertake serves our core purpose: flipping the equation from nuclear peril to nuclear promise.
