\nIN-PERSON EVENT and ONLINE
\nAbstract:
\nThe FMTS-WFSW (fmts-wfsw.org) is a N GO partner of UNESCO created in 1946 with the main aim to avoid any furthe r use of nuclear bombs against humans. 21 affiliated organizations of four continents (increasing every year) and individual members. Today\, the nu clear threat remains\, but we currently face even more challenges\, like t he climate change and its consequences\, or the bad managing of conflicts. Violence and militarization must be eradicated\, but we’re taking the r everse direction. The huge power provided by the progress of science and t echnology must be used for the peace and well-being of all\, but unfortuna tely we allow that they are employed for less noble purposes. The Sustaina ble Development Goals create an illusion of a better world for the XXI cen tury. Now\, people feels disoriented when observe the increasing of risks at all levels while the governance is held by blind leaders\, able to mani pulate opinions with confusing messages only for their immediate benefit. There is a high responsibility of the scientists to rise their voice to th e entire world in order to identify the authentic guidelines that must ori ent us. After the seminar\, a debate is foreseen.
\nShot bio : \;Dr. in Physics and Research Professor at the Materials Sc ience Institute of Barcelona (CSIC of Spain). Currently Head of the Depart ment of Advanced Structural and Functional Crystallography. My research to pics have covered several aspects of structure-property relationships such as in porous materials for catalysis\, although our more known contributi ons are in the study of the nature of the hydrogen bond.
\nOn the ot her hand\, I’m President of the Researcher Staff Association of CSIC (AP I-CSIC) and currently Co-President of the World Federation of Scientific W orkers. The WFSW was created after the WWII with the purpose that scientif ic knowledge would no longer be used against humans. Unpredictably\, our i nitial concerns about the nuclear war have increased in the recent years\, and also others very important and new have raised. So\, we are now extre mely worried for the destruction of our environment that compromises our o wn survival and for the lack of peace and equality.
