British
Pugwash is the UK arm of the Pugwash
Conferences on Science and World Affairs, an international
network of scientists and others concerned about the
social impact of science, with particular emphasis
on abolishing weapons of mass destruction and war.
British
Pugwash uses the best scientific expertise, including
from Pugwash's international network, to inform the
government and the public about issues relating to weapons
of mass destruction, matters of war and peace, the environment
and the social responsibility of scientists.
Our
activities range from holding regular public discussion
meetings and public education
events to working behind the scenes with government
officials. Our publications
include in-depth scientific and policy research as well
as letters and statements to the media.
Our
projects
include include PeaceJam and the WMD Awareness
Programme, working on public education; while scientific
and policy input is mainly channelled through the Disarmament
Lab and the Nuclear Policy Liaison Group. A history
project is documenting the history of the Pugwash conferences
since the 1940s.
