description du poste

THE NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is an intergovernmental agency which operates under the framework of the OECD. It facilitates co-operation among countries with advanced nuclear technology infrastructures to seek excellence in nuclear safety, technology, science, related environmental and economic matters and law. The mission of the NEA is to assist its 34 member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally sound and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. It strives to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues as input to government decisions on nuclear technology policies. The Division of Nuclear Science and Education leads the NEA activities in the area of nuclear science, knowledge management as well as NEA initiatives on nuclear education, training, human capacity building. The latter include the Nuclear Education, Skills and Technology (NEST) Framework and the Global Forum on Nuclear Education, Science, Technology and Policy. The NEST Framework is a multilateral initiative to provide young people with an opportunity to gain scientific and technical skills and competences to become subject-matter experts and leaders in the efficient and safe use of nuclear science and technology. By working together, NEA countries can provide these young people with an exciting opportunity to work within NEST Projects alongside recognised international experts as part of a multinational and multidisciplinary environment solving real-world issues. The Global Forum on Nuclear Education, Science, Technology and Policy (the Global Forum) is an inclusive network of experts in the nuclear energy sector from various horizons, in particular from academia, to enable the generation and flow of ideas, thus helping confront, with creative problem-solving measures, some of the most significant challenges the nuclear energy sector faces today. The Global Forum provides direct engagement with academic institutions which are responsible for developing the next generation of nuclear science and technology experts and brings long-term, creative thinking to address international policy challenges that nuclear energy faces today as input to NEA processes.
