The workshop covers the evolution of SMRs from traditional reactor designs for electricity production to the emergence of new applications. The program will explore the integration of SMRs\/AMRs into diverse energy systems and their role in complementing existing energy mixes, emphasizing their adaptability and scalability. Participants will gain insights into the life cycle of nuclear power plants, from design and construction to operation, decommissioning, and waste management, with a particular focus on the SMR\/AMR paradigm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective is then to bring new technologies to the attention of professionals from various backgrounds expressing interest in exploring the emerging SMR\/AMR market, and to explore associated design aspects, market opportunities and technological challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target audience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course is open to a maximum of&nbsp;<strong>25 participants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applicants must be PhD students or professionals in the following fields\/activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Studies and design of SMRs \/ AMRs,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electricity generation and supply,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electro-intensive industries (agro-industry, petrochemicals, paper producers, foundries, suppliers of decarbonation solutions, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suppliers to the nuclear industry,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public authorities, nuclear safety authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course will also be open to professionals from other industrial sectors in transition to the nuclear sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udce7 To take part in this training course, candidates must submit a curriculum vitae and a letter of motivation to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:contact@i2en.fr\">contact@i2en.fr.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participant selection criteria are based on :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>experience and relevance to the field of work\/research,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the motivation to participate expressed in the cover letter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All applications will be treated equally, irrespective of nationality, ethnicity, gender, language, religion, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selected candidates will receive a link to register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The registration fee for this course is&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac1,000*<\/strong>&nbsp;per participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A&nbsp;<strong>50%<\/strong>&nbsp;discount will be offered to PhD students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>* These fees include lunches, but do not include dinners, travel or accommodation costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ENEN can sponsor up to 20 scholarship holders as part of its <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ENEN2+ mobility program<\/span><\/strong> to cover registration, travel and accommodation costs (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accommodation for all participants has been reserved at the Ch\u00e2teau de Cadarache from 8pm on Sunday March 2 to the morning of Friday March 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rate per participant is&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac104.02<\/strong>&nbsp;per night, including breakfast and dinner*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IBIS STYLE Marseille A\u00e9roport hotel has also been booked for the evening of Friday March 7 at a rate of&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac93.45<\/strong>&nbsp;(dinner not included) to facilitate participants\u2019 return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>* Dinner on Sunday, March 2 is not available.
