The Belfer Center is celebrating a half-century of excellence in researching the world’s toughest challenges and shaping policy responses. And we're just getting started. Our mission is as relevant today as it was at any other time in our history.
About us
Who We Are: The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs is the hub of Harvard Kennedy School's research, teaching, and training in international security and diplomacy, environmental and resource issues, and science and technology policy. From terrorism and nuclear weapons to cybersecurity, climate change, energy, and diplomacy, the Belfer Center provides research, ideas, and leadership for a more secure, peaceful world. What We Do: The Center has a dual mission: (1) to provide leadership in advancing policy-relevant knowledge about the most important challenges of international security and other critical issues where science, technology, environmental policy, and international affairs intersect; and (2) to prepare future generations of leaders for these arenas. How We Do It: The heart of the Belfer Center is its resident research community of more than 150 scholars, who through publications and policy discussions, workshops, seminars, and conferences, promote innovative solutions to significant international challenges.

🚀 A huge thank you to Dr. Francesca Giovannini, Executive Director of the Project on Managing the Atom at Harvard's Belfer Center, for leading an incredible session in our Gaming for Peace fellowship initiative! 🎮✨ Dr.Giovannini's deep dive into the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), the history and politics of nuclear testing, and the challenges the CTBT faces was both thought-provoking and inspiring. She highlighted the urgent need for countries to sign and ratify the CTBT to prevent the resumption of nuclear testing, which poses serious risks to global security and environmental safety. 🌍☢️ Ratifying the CTBT is crucial for strengthening international peace and security, as it would help prevent nuclear escalation and further proliferation. Our fellows are now empowered to think critically about how we can raise the stakes for countries to move towards ratification and secure a safer future for all. ☮️

"Politicians often attempt to win elections by appealing to popular anger against bankers and speculators, a sentiment reflected in countless Hollywood films... But while some do try to improve regulation once in office, many do precisely the opposite." Jeffrey Frankel writes in Project Syndicate about what lessons popular films have for us on financial regulation.

Is the United States losing ground in the Black Sea region? In new analysis, Natia Gamkrelidze, PhD reflects on the strategic importance of the region as a barrier against Russian expansionism. Gamkrelidze argues the Kremlin uses hybrid warfare, economic blackmail, and military threats, tailored to the vulnerabilities of the Black Sea littoral states, to weaken democratic institutions, undermine the rule of law, and cause recurrent political crises.
