The Role of Independent Scientists in WMD Threat Assessment

In 2008, British Pugwash co-sponsored with the Croatian Pugwash Group a NATO Advanced Research Workshop.

Senior scientists and policy advisors from NATO, Partner, and Mediterranean Dialogue countries explored ways to strengthen the scientific component of advice which governments receive on assessing the threats from weapons of mass destruction. This project formally concluded in early 2010 with the publication of a book entitled The Role of Independent Scientists in WMD Threat Assessment based on the contributions and the workshop discussion.
