Pugwash Conferences

The Pugwash Conferences are a series of international meetings that bring together scientists, scholars, and public policy experts to discuss and address the dangers of nuclear weapons and conflict. Founded in 1957 by physicist Bertrand Russell and others, the initiative aims to promote dialogue, peace, and disarmament. The conferences provide a platform for discussing the ethical implications of scientific advances and fostering cooperation across borders. Over time, Pugwash has contributed to significant arms control agreements and continues to work towards a safer, more secure world by highlighting the importance of responsible science and diplomacy.
