While many CITS programs are designed to impart the fundamentals of strategic trade management, the Export Control Fellows Program offers more advanced training to select individuals with extensive background in the fields of strategic trade and nonproliferation. The Export Control Fellows Program brings a small number of high-ranking professionals from other countries to train in Athens for two weeks during the summer.

During their time in Athens, participants design, execute, and present written research projects that are of value to them as individuals and to their parent institutions, while forming professional connections that strengthen regional efficiency in managing the trade of dual-use and strategic goods.
