The Program on Science and Global Security

The Project on Peace and Security in South Asia was set up in 1997 to provide independent technical and policy analysis to inform the South Asian nuclear debate and develop policy proposals that could contribute to easing and ending the nuclear confrontation there. Each year the project invites South Asian physicists to collaborate with the Program on Science and Global Security in exploring technical questions relating to nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policy and help lay the basis for initiatives that can promote nuclear restraint, disarmament, cooperation and sustainable development in South Asia.
