Across Europe, the energy sector is changing fast. From renewables and hydrogen to smarter power grids, every part of the industry is working to deliver cleaner and more reliable energy. One challenge affects all of these areas: the growing demand for skilled workers to drive Europe’s energy transition. For nuclear energy, the challenge is
As Europe ramps up its energy transition, renewables like wind and solar often dominate the conversation, while nuclear energy remains in the shadows. In the latest EU Energy Projects Podcast, SNETP General Secretariat members Candice Boudet (CEA) and Jan Prehradný (RCR) discuss why nuclear is essential for a reliable, low-carbon energy system. Jan Prehradný
Nuclear energy has long played a central role in Europe’s energy mix, providing reliable, low-carbon electricity. Its wider potential, however, is often underestimated. Under the umbrella of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Platform (SNETP), several Euratom-funded projects are now leveraging nuclear research to drive innovation across multiple sectors, improve safety, and strengthen industrial competitiveness. Initiatives
The Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) launches a new Call for Study as part of the SNETPFORWARD project. The goal is to explore alternative non electric energy uses in Europe, such as industrial heat, district heating, and hydrogen production, and to assess how energy demand is changing. The study will build on the
The Key Messages and Outcomes Report from the FISA-EURADWASTE 2025 & SNETP Forum is now available, offering a detailed summary of the key discussions and results from this 3-in1 event held in Warsaw, Poland, from May 12 to 16, 2025. Organized under the auspices of the Polish presidency of the European Council, the conference
Since the beginning of 2025, the SNETP Secretariat has submitted six position papers to the European Commission as part of the association’s continued commitment to supporting the development of EU policies that reflect the needs and priorities of the civil nuclear research and innovation community. These contributions were prepared in response to several ongoing consultations
From May 12 to 15, nearly 700 participants from five continents and 38 countries gathered in Warsaw for FISA EURADWASTE 2025 and the SNETP Forum. This unique conference brought together researchers, industry leaders, policy experts, students, and entrepreneurs with a shared goal: to advance nuclear energy’s role in Europe’s clean, sustainable, and secure energy
On 14 March 2025 at 13:00 CET, the 2025 SNETP Portfolio Webinar will focus on key advancements in GEN IV reactors, which are set to transform nuclear energy. This session will provide insights from top industry experts and highlight ongoing European projects aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability in nuclear power generation. Context of
