Pugwash Germany
is the German national group of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and
World Affairs. As a consequence of the "Russell-Einstein-Manifesto"
in 1955, and subsequently the "Göttingen Declaration "
in 1957, the group was founded in 1959. Max Born, Professor of Theoretical
Physics in Göttingen (until 1933) and Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics,
was one of the 12 signers of the "Russell-Einstein-Manifesto"
and in 1959 together with Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, founded
the "Vereinigung Deutsche Wissenschaftler" (VDW), which forms
the basis of the Pugwash group.
The German Pugwash
Group holds public meetings and seminars on relevant Pugwash and German
topics and nominates participants from Germany for international meetings
and workshops aiming to inform the public and to influence Government
policy on international security issues. The German Pugwash Representative,
Dr. Götz Neuneck/IFSH Hamburg, coordinates national activities
and builds the bridge to "Pugwash International". A "German
International Student and Young Pugwash Group" is in initial stages.
