- Das Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (kurz Belfer Center) ist ein Institut für Forschung, Lehre und Weiterbildung in den Bereichen internationale Sicherheit, Diplomatie sowie in Umwelt- und Ressourcenfragen der John F. Kennedy School of Government an der Harvard University in Cambridge, Vereinigte Staaten. Das Belfer Center wurde im Jahr 1973 durch den Biochemiker Paul M. Doty als „Program for Science and International Affairs“ innerhalb der Fakultät für Künste und Wissenschaften an der Harvard University gegründet, um ernsthafte Analysen zu den Themenbereichen nukleare Gefahren und Rüstungskontrolle zur Verfügung zu stellen. Fünf Jahre später ermöglichte ein Stipendium der Ford Foundation die Wiederaufnahme des Programms in Form eines dauerhaft bestehenden Forschungszentrums an der neu gegründeten John F. Kennedy School of Government mit dem Namen Center for Science and International Affairs (CSIA). Im Jahr 1997 erfolgte, nach der Umstrukturierung und Renovierung des Instituts, die Umbenennung zu Ehren von Robert A. Belfer in Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (BCSIA). Es definiert seine Aufgaben dahingehend, dass es zum einen Orientierungsgrundlagen hinsichtlich politischer Erkenntnisse in den Bereichen internationalen Sicherheit, Wissenschaft und Technik, Umweltpolitik sowie in internationalen Angelegenheiten bereichsübergreifend anbietet und zum anderen künftige Generationen von Führungskräften auf ihr Wirken in ebendiesen adäquat vorbereitet.

- The Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, also known as the Belfer Center, is a research center located within the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University, in the United States. From 2017 until his death in October, 2022, the center was led by Director Ash Carter, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Co-Director Eric Rosenbach, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense. Belfer was founded in 1973 by biochemist Paul M. Doty as the Program for Science and International Affairs within Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences to provide analysis on arms control and nuclear threat reduction. Following a grant from the Ford Foundation, the program was re-established as the Center for Science and International Affairs, becoming the first permanent research center at the newly formed School of Government. In 1997, following further endowment, the center was renamed as the Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs in honor of Robert A. Belfer, founder of Belco Oil & Gas Corporation. In 2012, the Stanton Foundation provided funds for a paid Wikipedian in residence at the Belfer Center. This became controversial due to links between the Belfer Center and the Stanton Foundation (the directors of each are a married couple) and public concerns about conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia. The center is organized into subgroups with specific areas of focus; for example, an energy technology innovation policy group led by . A 2021 investigative report by student group Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard found that many of the center's climate initiatives were funded in part by fossil fuel companies, and that the center had allegedly taken several steps to cover up that fact.
