FONAS, the Research Association Science, Disarmament and International Security, is the German professional organisation of scientists who conduct peace research based on natural science, engineering, computer science or mathematics. A wide variety of topics is being investigated: consequences of (nuclear) war, escalation potential and strategic stability; monitoring of (military) research and development; assessment of potential new weapon systems; military uses of new technologies under viewpoints of peace and international security and options for preventive arms control; verification technologies for actual and future disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation; proliferation risks from civilian/dual-use technologies. The poster will present examples from present research, with a main focus on research groups in Germany, to raise awareness about such research and to encourage (young) physicists to participate.
