This 3-year project, funded by EURATOM, brings together 10 partners to strengthen SNETP’s position in the European nuclear and non-nuclear research ecosystem. The project aims to ensure nuclear fission remains the EU’s largest, secure, competitive, flexible, and reliable supplier of low-carbon electricity. It also explores alternative nuclear applications, develops cross-cutting technologies, and focuses on key enablers such as high-quality skills and competences, R&D infrastructures, knowledge management, and international cooperation. Funding opportunities will be available for cross-sectorial studies related to nuclear.

As part of the SNETPFORWARD Project, SNETP is launching a call for studies.

These studies aim to support SNETP and the community in making strategic choices, focusing on three key topics:

• Nuclear Research Landscape
• Nuclear & Digital Innovation
• Technico-economic study on the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on the Ukrainian and European wide nuclear R&D&I landscape

These calls are open to all, offering an opportunity to contribute and shape the future of the nuclear sector. Evaluations will be conducted by SNETP’s Scientific and Industrial Committee (SIIC) and external reviewers. The deadline is 15 November 2023 at 17:00 (The call was extended by one month).

Overview of the Documents

• Call for study template
• Call for tender financial template

Following last year’s call for studies, we have selected two important reports: a techno-economic study on the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on SNETP and nuclear R&D&I, conducted by ENCO, and an assessment of the EU’s nuclear research, development, and innovation landscape, as well as workforce readiness for decarbonisation, prepared by Jensen Hughes, Finland Oy.

• Executive Summary: Study on the Ukrainian conflict on SNTEP and nuclear R&D&I
• Executive Summary: Assessment of the EU’s nuclear research developpment and innovation landscape, and its workforce readiness for decarbonisation
