Since its founding at Sandia National Laboratories in 1994, the Cooperative Monitoring Center (CMC) has used cutting-edge science, engineering, and technology to build cooperative engagements around the world in order to strengthen international security. The CMC will continue to highlight the importance of science-driven collaboration for international peace and stability in the 21st century by providing a venue in which experts from around the world can explore the use of shareable technology and research to advance global strategic stability. Examples include confidence and security building measures and monitoring and verification of treaties and other agreements.

The CMC offers facilities, subject matter expertise, and partnerships that enable all stages of international science and technology cooperation. These include:

• Researching and analyzing security issues and developing options to address them
• Developing, testing, and implementing technical approaches
• Capacity building on methods, technologies, and procedures
