Invitation: 70th anniversary of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto event

Dear colleague,

You are invited to a special event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto.

On July 9, 1955, two of the most eminent intellectuals of the 20th century, Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, issued an appeal to humanity, urging that the immense peril associated with nuclear weapons be recognised by governments and publics alike.

The Russell-Einstein Manifesto warned that nuclear weapons pose a threat to the survival of the human species and called for major efforts to address and contain nuclear dangers.

One of the consequences of the Manifesto was the holding of the first Pugwash conference in 1957.

...

The event will take place on Tuesday 8 July from 6pm-8pm at The Royal Society in London.

More information is available on the attached flyer.
