Great Pioneer: Reactor transients, nuclear safety and uncertainty and sensitivity analysis course
2026-02-23 - 2026-02-27 | Göteborg, Sweden
Sign up for a course on “Reactor transients, nuclear safety and uncertainty and sensitivity analysis” (3 ECTS). Registrations will open on November 24th, 2025.
This course aims at giving the participants a full and comprehensive overview of:

The principles of nuclear reactor safety and system behaviour from the point of view of nuclear safety.

The principles of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to nuclear reactor simulations and their importance in the evaluation of the simulations’ results.

The pedagogical format of the course is based on a hybrid flipped classroom. In this format, you need to complete some preparatory work (representing about 40 hours of work) before attending interactive classes organized during 5 consecutive days (representing about 40 hours of work). Those classes are given in a hybrid set-up, with participants following the classes either onsite or remotely on the web. Research in engineering education demonstrated that such a teaching format leads to better learning outcomes and increases the interactions between the students and the teachers.
Online self-paced learning phase taking place between January 23rd, 2026, and February 20th, 2026. Synchronous activities offered between February 23rd, 2026, and February 27th, 2026 (those activities can be attended online or onsite at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden).
Interested? Head over to the Great-Pioneer website to learn more.

European Nuclear Energy 2026 (ENE26)
2026-02-25 - 2026-02-26 | Stockholm, Sweden
As Europe works urgently toward climate neutrality and energy security, European Nuclear Energy 2026 (ENE26) will convene government, policymakers, regulators, utilities, technology innovators, decision-makers, market leaders, multilateral banks, contractors, developers, researchers, investors, and nuclear energy stakeholders to redefine nuclear energy’s value in enabling Europe’s net-zero future.

With nuclear energy excluded from most carbon market mechanisms today, the summit will focus on unlocking carbon credits and innovative financing models to scale up nuclear power – including fission, fusion and FNPPs.

How can carbon credit markets unlock the investment needed to scale nuclear energy for a net-zero Europe?

SNETP Forum 2026
2026-03-25 - 2026-03-27 | Madrid, Spain
Join us at the SNETP Forum 2026 in Madrid, where leading experts will explore the latest advancements in nuclear technologies!
The SNETP Forum 2026 will explore recent technological and scientific progress in advanced nuclear technologies, including SMRs and AMRs, safety, non-electric applications, long-term operation (LTO), and improved NPP performance. The objective is to assess how these innovations can enable the nuclear sector to strengthen its contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Based on results from recent collaborative projects, the Forum will identify key topics of common interest for the European community, helping to shape future R&D&I priorities and projects, and promoting knowledge transfer and harmonisation of best practices across the EU and beyond.
The programme will combine strategic plenary sessions with technical parallel sessions, ensuring diversity and inclusion of transversal topics such as digitalisation, integration with other energy sources, and fuel cycle back-end. Young Generation involvement and collaboration with international networks will be encouraged.

ESARDA course on Nuclear Safeguards and Non-proliferation
2026-04-13 - 2026-04-17 | Geel, Belgium, EC-JRC Geel Retieseweg 111, Belgium
General objective
The ESARDA course on nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation was set up as a follow-up to the United Nations recommendations on disarmament and non-proliferation education of 2002 (United Nations, 2002), to complement nuclear engineering studies by teaching the technical aspects of safeguards, contribute to a two-fold scientific-technical and political-juridical education, and stimulate interest in this multi-disciplinary field.
The ESARDA course is of major importance for technical knowledge retention and for enrolling the younger generation in the nuclear safeguards field, since it deals specifically with technical aspects and application of safeguards and non-proliferation tools, including examples of in-field implementation of the safeguards principles and methodology at the different nuclear facilities.
A maximum of 34 participants is foreseen (possibility of ENEN2plus mobility grant is being investigated). All participants are requested to attend all sessions.

EUSEW 2026 Session "Strategic autonomy of the EU nuclear industry as a driver of economic resilience"
2026-06-11 16:00 - 17:30 | Brussels and Online
Co-organised by SNETP and Nucleareurope this session is designed to spark a concrete, forward-looking conversation on three interconnected challenges Europe cannot afford to ignore:
• Energy security: reducing strategic dependencies through diversified, competitive European nuclear supply chains;
• Industrial competitiveness: unlocking investment in established and innovative technologies, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fusion pilot plants;
• Decarbonisation: the role of nuclear in supporting EU climate objectives and the Clean Industrial Deal.

The session will be structured around two “fire-starter” presentation rounds, each followed by open Q&A with the audience. Expect moderated panel discussions, live audience polling, and real dialogue, not just presentations.

fiv2026 : Flow-Induced Vibration 2026
2026-07-07 - 2026-07-10 | Paris, France
Flow-induced vibration and noise and the physical parameters which control them are of significant importance to design engineers and operators of systems in a wide range of industries ranging from aerospace, automotive and civil engineering to marine structures, electricity generation and chemical processing. The potential of these phenomena to cause catastrophic failure to engineering systems and unacceptably high levels of environmental and occupational noise has required that significant effort be dedicated to understanding and mitigating against these challenges in the interests of human safety.

Sixth International Conference on Nuclear Power Plant Life Management (PLiM 6)
2026-12-07 - 2026-12-11 | Tokyo, Japan
The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) latest high case projection for nuclear power capacity in 2050 sees a 150% increase from current levels to 992 gigawatts. This reflects decisions around the world supporting the long-term operation (LTO) of existing reactors, new construction of large nuclear power plants (NPPs), and the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs).
As of June 2025, the average age of global operational nuclear power reactors is about 32 years, with over 67% of the total operating units being more than 30 years old. Approximately 38% of operating units are over 40 years old, and 9% are over 50 years old. To meet decarbonization and energy security goals, LTO of nuclear power plants has become a top priority for many nuclear power fleets.
In recent years, international organizations and countries have initiated various projects on LTO beyond 60 years to identify technical gaps and seek innovative solutions to support LTO.
