This forum is a student-led initiative advised by activists working on nuclear weapons issues at Science for Peace and Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.
The forum’s major themes are the humanitarian implications of the renewed nuclear-arms race and the potential of the United Nations’ Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons to build a world free of the menaced of nuclear war.

Our hope is to attract both Anglophone and Francophone students, in which case the forum will provide translation into one or other official language.
In conjunction with the 2022 student forum, Science for Peace is also running the Science for Peace 2021 Blumenfeld Peace Essay Contest. The contest invites Canadian undergraduate students to write a short essay on some dimension of the challenges of eliminating the risks and dangers of nuclear weapons. Submissions will be judged by a panel of experts from Science for Peace. The winning submission will be awarded $500.00. Details of the essay prize will be soon announced on the Science for Peace website and elsewhere. The tentative deadline for essay submissions is Dec. 20, 2021. Students submitting essays for the 2021 Blumenfeld Peace are strongly encouraged to participate in the 2022 student forum. The Blumenfeld Peace winner will be announced at the 2022 Student Forum. Please spread the word about the 2022 student forum and the Blumenfeld Essay Prize.
