The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Autonomous Rosatom Corporate Academy will implement a series of joint initiatives, educational programs, seminars, and strategic sessions to promote increased participation of women and youth in the nuclear industry.
An agreement to this effect, for a period of two years, was signed on the sidelines of the 69th General Conference of the IAEA, held recently in Vienna.
Mikhail Chudakov, Deputy Director General of the IAEA, and Yulia Uzhakina, Director General of the Rosatom Corporate Academy, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides. Tatyana Terentieva, Deputy Director General for Human Resources at Rosatom, was also present.
"Today, we are signing a landmark agreement that opens a new chapter in our long-standing and fruitful cooperation with Rosatom. This is the first step of the Corporate Academy towards obtaining the prestigious status of the IAEA Cooperation Center, and we see great potential in this,” Mikhail Chudakov said.
“As part of the partnership, we pay attention to strategically important areas, primarily working with talented youth, supporting and developing the leadership potential of women professionals in the nuclear industry.”
