Atoms for Peace in Europe Around the World, Barcelona, 28-29 May 2018

HoNESt researchers Paul Josephson and Matthew Adamson are organising a workshop on Atoms for Peace in Europe Around the World, Barcelona, 28-29 May 2018, See CFP here.

In this conference we shall explore the new public light that was shed on nuclear technology. Scientists and engineers flocked to the Geneva conferences of 1955, 1958, and 1964, enthused to have the chance to exchange information on many aspects of nuclear technology and the nuclear fuel cycle. (The workings and effects of nuclear weapons remained secret.) In magazines, journals, newspapers and films, citizens learned of their efforts. The US, the USSR, and other nuclear powers established carefully managed efforts to propagandize the benefits of nuclear energy to national audiences and to the world at large. Nuclear power in the Atoms for Peace era thus became a product of public-science and public-state interactions.

Programme

On November 16-17, the Green Memory Archive Berlin will host an authors’ workshop, co-organised by one of HoNEST’s partners, Jan-Henrik Meyer. The topic will be “Turning Point or Catalyst? Chernobyl’s political consequences” , and will include presentations from researchers from all over Europe.
The aim of this event is to collectively discuss manuscripts intended for an innovative and cohesive publication on the political consequences of Chernobyl in a comparative perspective.

Additionally, you can find the programme here.

On November 20, one of the partners from HoNEST project, Astrid Kirchhof, will organise a One-Day-Workshop at Humboldt University, Berlin. The title is “Siting Nuclear Installations at the Border - Transnational political implications and societal responses” and will address different transnational perspectives on several nuclear plants.

Additionally, you can find the programme here.

The HoNESt second stakeholder engagement workshop has taken place on the 31^st January 2018 at the Dana Research Centre and Library, The Science Museum (165 Queen's Gate, London, SW7 5HD).
