Science For Peace

We discuss the role of science in connecting people from around the world, using the example of two leading scientific organisations, CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and SESAME in Allan, Jordan. We argue that knowledge, technology, training and education, collaboration across borders and open science are crucial for a sustainable future for humanity and for the planet and for addressing today’s global challenges. Over the past decade, the Edoardo Amaldi Conferences organised by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and the National Academy of Sciences, have provided an international Forum for the scientific community to discuss nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation issues, see Refs. 1 and 2 for the latest Conference Proceedings, accessible as open-source publications.
