Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs

The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs are international gatherings of scientists, experts, and policymakers dedicated to promoting dialogue on global security issues, especially nuclear disarmament and peaceful conflict resolution. Established in 1957, they aim to reduce the risks of war and promote understanding between nations by fostering open discussions based on scientific knowledge and ethical responsibility. These conferences work behind the scenes to encourage trust, transparency, and cooperation among countries, helping to prevent conflicts and promote a safer, more stable world through informed, expert-led dialogue.
