Amplifiers Francesca Farrugia (Institute for International Peace and Disarmament Research), Guglielmo Tamborini (University of Naples Federico II and Union of Disarmament Scholars), Norberto Patrignani (Professor of Computer Ethics, Politecnico di Torino) online Francesco Vignarca (Italian Network for Peace and Disarmament). Presents Enzo Ferrara (Sereno Regis Study Center).

The Sereno Regis Study Center, the Disarmament Archive and the Italian Peace and Disarmament Network condemn the nuclear threat and point to Italy’s accession to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weaponswhich the ongoing war in Europe makes even more urgent with a reflection on the roles and tasks of science and technology for peace.

A live broadcast is expected on Centro Studi Sereno Regis . Youtube channel
