Until his death in June 2020, Peccei was on the editorial board of Nuclear Physics B Supplement, and the Journal of Physics G.[citation needed] He was a member of the Club of Rome, a trustee of the World Academy of Art and Science and president of the Fondazione Aurelio Peccei and he was a Fellow of both the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom. In the last 15 years, he served on numerous advisory boards both in Europe and in the U.S. He chaired both the scientific advisory board for the Laboratory for Nuclear Science at Cornell University and the visiting committee for the Laboratory of Nuclear Science at MIT. He also was a member of the visiting committee for the Department of Physics at MIT and was the convener of the vice chancellor for Research Council in the University of California.[citation needed]
