Welcome to the World Nuclear University's Networks for Nuclear Innovation
The World Nuclear University (WNU) is a worldwide network of educational and research institutions engaged in peaceful uses of nuclear energy, radioisotope production and applications of ionizing radiation in medicine and industry. Its founding supporters are World Nuclear Association, IAEA, OECD NEA and WANO. WNU has been providing cutting-edge competence building programmes since 2003 and as of 2020, almost 8000 participants from over 85 countries have attended WNU programmes. This includes 1214 Fellows from 85 countries who have attended the Summer Institute programme.
Networks for Nuclear Innovation (NNI) bring new light to important challenges in the nuclear field. The purpose of integrating the NNI in the CONNECT Platform is to facilitate the exchange of information among WNU Fellows, and to foster engagement from Alumni of all years in any topic of their interest, in pursuing innovative solutions.
We invite all Alumni, Faculty, Mentors and Organizers of WNU leadership development programmes to register as a member by clicking on the 'Not a member yet?' button on the right hand side of this page.
