Bio
Sarah Grand-Clément is a researcher in both the Conventional Arms and Ammunition Programme and the Security and Technology Programme of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR). Her work looks at the intersection of technology with conventional arms, exploring the benefits that technology can bring to prevent violent conflict and enable peace, as well as the challenges and threats it can pose to international security. Sarah also has expertise in the use of futures methodologies as a way to help explore policy issues, in particular the use of horizon scanning, serious gaming and future scenarios. Prior to joining UNIDIR, Sarah was a senior analyst at RAND Europe, where she conducted research on defence and security issues for public and third sector policy making. She holds an M.Sc. in Arab world studies from Durham University.
