The event, promoted by the Network of Italian Universities for Peace - RUniPace, aims to stimulate reflection on the role of scientists and academia in the field of arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation. We will discuss the new arms race, its social, political, and economic impact, and the growing collaboration between the military, industrial, and academic sectors.

The morning session will be mainly dedicated to students, researchers, and scholars and will be conducted in English. In the afternoon, the meeting will be held in Italian.

Both sessions are open to the public.
