The European Nuclear Education Network is delighted to invite you to our Annual General Assembly and Special Event, taking place on March 6th and 7th, 2025, in Brussels.
While the General Assembly on March 7th is strictly dedicated to ENEN Members, the Special Event of March 6th is open to the nuclear education and training community and its supporters.
This year’s Special Event aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing among key stakeholders in the nuclear education and training community. By bringing together academics, industry leaders, policymakers, and early-career professionals, the event seeks to address pressing challenges in the nuclear field, including workforce development, skills enhancement, and the role of nuclear in energy sustainability. Participants will have the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and explore future partnerships while showcasing innovative projects and initiatives. The event also serves as a platform to celebrate the accomplishments of the ENEN community and its partners, strengthening our collective commitment to advancing nuclear education and training. The day will start with a workshop and it will be continued with a live exhibition dedicated to the scientific community. The second part of the day will update the community with the achievements and still-to-be-implemented actions of the ENEN2plus project and it will end with a celebration dedicated to the younger contributors to the nuclear community: European Nuclear Society – Young Generation anniversary of 30 years.
