The Stimson Center & Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

SAGA embarked on an ambitious collaborative project involving two of Washington’s most respected Think Tanks. The Stimson Center and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. In the long shadow of the cold war, experts recognize that there is still so much more work that needs to be to make the world safer and more secure. We challenged these two organizations to find positive common ground with their Russian counterparts to build on past accomplishments in the area of space and science and work toward the realization that only through collaboration can we share in a safer future for all the people of the planet.
