Benoît Pélopidas, fondateur du programme Nuclear Knowledges a été invité en tant que keynote speaker lors de la Nobel Peace Conference 2025 qui s'est déroulée le 6 août dernier à Oslo, Norvège

"The Nobel Peace Conference 2025 celebrates Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nihon Hidankyo’s work for a world free of nuclear weapons. The same day, the world marks 80 years since the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With the testimonies of the survivors as a backdrop, and in a time of international tension, we discuss today’s nuclear threat and look at solutions which strengthen the work to ensure that these weapons are never used again."
