Scientists for Peace is a “Global Call to Action” promoted by the Pontifical Academy for Life and sponsored by the Dicastery of Integral Human Development. It is open to scientists, researchers, and academics from all disciplines, of any nationality, cultural tradition, political and religious orientation.
“At this critical moment in history—in which the language of weapons and war, as well as the explosion of violence, have taken on a tragic global significance that also puts pressure on scientific research—scientists and academics around the world are called upon to take a clear stand for peace,” states the appeal.
The initiative, which began in January of this year, according to its original publication date, has been promoted on Vatican News twice in the recent days, obviously reflecting the urgency to develop a culture of peace, instead of death.
