PAX's Open Nuclear Network and the Diplomatische Akademie Wien are convening a high-level dialogue to discuss shared principles, emerging opportunities, and practical steps to strengthen global nuclear governance and sustain dialogue across divides.

On October 16th and 17th, the first of its kind UN Youth4Disarmament Forum took place at the UN Headquarters. PAX program Open Nuclear Network's very own Kseniia Pirnavskaia and Dr. Olamide Samuel participated in the forum!

PAX's OSF Program (@oursecurefuture.bsky.social) joined NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) at a recent event. OSF's Vice President Sahana Dharmapuri joined in on the discussion. We are so proud of the work OSF is continuing to do to amplify women’s voices.
