Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) Advanced School
2025-10-13 - 2025-10-17 | Marseille, France
The second edition of the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) Advanced School will take place from 13 – 17 October 2025 in Marseille, France.
The Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) Project began more than thirty years ago, with a plan to build a modern Materials Testing Reactor (MTR) which would expand the diminishing international infrastructure for investigating radiation effects in materials of all kinds. From the outset, the JHR was developed within a broad European partnership, which later expanded into a wider international collaboration.
Over the years, JHR Consortium Members, through dedicated Working Groups, have fostered the growth of a large research community focused on identifying ways in which JHR can be used to meet the needs of research, development and industrial activity.
The JHR Advanced School is a short but intensive educational event to introduce MTRs to a new audience.
The objective of the 2nd edition organised by UNIBO, AMU, CEA, the JHR consortium and CONNECT-NM is to engage and prepare young researchers, encouraging them to explore the opportunities offered by future JHR experimental activities and to ensure their results are organised and presented to the maximum benefit of the whole nuclear community.
Event topics include:

MTR evolution and the JHR Project
Goals for the coming decades: nuclear material and fuel qualification, ageing, incidental conditions
The JHR and related technologies
Computational and modelling tools
From theory to experiment and instrumentation in a MTR environment: problem setting and problem solving
Experimental data organisation and management as a continuous learning activity
Case studies

The trainees will have the opportunity to interact with members of three JHR working groups on fuels, materials and technologies, as well as to visit the JHR construction site at CEA Cadarache and the Joint LIMMEX Lab (AMU-CEA-CNRS) at AMU.
The deadline to apply is 31 July 2025.

Fourth NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop on Optimisation in Decision Making: From Insight to Action
2025-10-15 - 2025-10-17 | Paris, France
The NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshops (SIWS) are known for fostering active dialogue and collaboration amongst diverse stakeholders. The first of the series was held in 2017, with a focus on stakeholder involvement in nuclear decision making. The second edition in 2019 focused on risk communication.
The theme of the third workshop edition, held from 5-7 September 2023, was optimisation in decision making. The workshop was preceded by a series of preparatory webinars. Some 120 participants from 23 countries, including representatives from regulatory bodies, industry, academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations, and indigenous communities, were in attendance. Participants considered the concepts, principles, and values that can help to form a practical optimisation framework. An optimised decision was identified as a decision that is reached in an inclusive and holistic manner with a sustainable outcome. Significant progress was made over the three-day workshop through discussion on how to create a generic framework for optimising decisions in the nuclear sector, highlighting a number of areas for further consideration.
The NEA recognises the importance of continuing its work on stakeholder involvement, which is a key topic, as outlined in its Strategic Plan 2023-2028, in this regard, setting the stage for the fourth edition of the NEA SIWS.
With the establishment of the NEA High-Level Group on Stakeholder Engagement, Trust, Transparency and Social Sciences (HLG-SET), which was launched to engage at the senior policy level and cultivate a deeper understanding of the relations between the nuclear sector and civil society, there is an opportunity to maintain momentum and foster collaboration across a diverse group of stakeholders. Synergies between the expertise and knowledge of these two groups will be essential in organising the fourth edition of the workshop.

Preparatory webinars

In preparation for the fourth SIWS, the NEA has organised two preparatory webinars that explored key factors that contribute to power imbalances and their mitigation when engaging diverse stakeholders in nuclear decision making. Each webinar attracted approximately 50 participants, providing a forum for focused discussion to enhance understanding of the topic. A third webinar is planned for 7 May 2025 to further equip participants with tools to support meaningful stakeholder engagement.

Opportunity to engage

The fourth SIWS, to be held in Paris over a three-day period, will focus on the practical application of approaches and tools in optimising decision making. Participants will include representatives from government bodies, industry, academic and research institutions, NGOs, international organisations and civil society to foster a broad and inclusive dialogue.
The workshop is set to be highly interactive, offering plenary sessions, opportunities for dialogue, breakout sessions, and moderated panel discussions. Participants are invited to suggest practical case studies with approaches and tools for stakeholder engagement, building on trust and ensuring transparency. The outcomes will be compiled into a publicly available report.
If you have any queries or need further information about the workshop, the NEA can be contacted at stakeholder2025@oecd-nea.org.
