Working Groups and Projects

Day to day research, information dissemination and public outreach of Science for Peace occurs through its Working Groups and through specific Projects. Groups study a large range of issues including Nuclear Abolition, Human Rights, Genetic Engineering, Peace Education and Ethics as well as economic issues.
