International Conference on Nuclear Knowledge Management and Human Resources Development: Challenges and Opportunities

Development and management of human resources in the nuclear field is one of the crucial factors for its safety and sustainability. Many of the challenges that influence human resources development (HRD) are common to countries that are operating, expanding or developing nuclear power programmes. They also affect countries hosting research reactors, radioactive waste management and fuel cycle facilities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) supports Member States in improving their capabilities to develop and maintain a competent workforce and in ensuring that critical knowledge and skills are transferred in all phases of the life cycle of nuclear facilities.

The conference programme has been developed using an integrated approach to human resources development and nuclear knowledge management (NKM) to better serve the needs of Member States.

The objective of the conference is to review the global situation in human resources development and nuclear knowledge management, consider the current and future challenges and opportunities. It will provide participants with practical solutions that they can use to develop and maintain the human resources needed to support safe, secure and sustainable nuclear power programmes. Various issues related to specific human competencies, methodological or process knowledge and technology-related knowledge management will also be addressed.
