PUGWASH USA is the US national group of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.

Beginning with its first international conference in Pugwash, Nova Scotia in 1957, the Pugwash Conferences have brought together influential scientists, scholars and public figures concerned with reducing the danger of armed conflict and seeking cooperative solutions for global problems. Pugwash holds several workshops a year in areas such as nuclear weapons arms control, biological and chemical weapons, regional conflict and stability, humanitarian intervention and state sovereignty, and other topics.

Pugwash USA sponsors US participants to attend these international workshops, occasionally hosts Pugwash workshops and symposia, and currently supports the international secretariat and Prof. Paolo Cotta-Ramusino, in Rome, Italy.

The co-chairs of Pugwash USA are Dr. Lynn Eden (Stanford University) and Dr. Steven Miller (Harvard University), and the Secretary is Dr. Jeffrey Boutwell.
