If anyone could prepare you to build a complex project like the DeathStar it would be Kiri Parr! Check out her upcoming webinar with the Project Management Institute. A case study on ITER- International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor covering: ☝️What is different about complex projects and how they are managed? ✌️How does a project’s elements shape project management, from funding and expertise to IP and incentives? 🤟Why is the ITER project embracing collaboration?

Take a look at this video how our #DirectScanning #ATS600 #LaserTracker technology is being put to work by our partners ITER in the construction of their ground-breaking #Tokamak #fusion reactor 👉

The Open Nuclear Network is now part of PAX sapiens. Key Highlights: - Collaboration: ONN will join other peace and security programs at PAX, including Our Secure Future. - Enhanced Engagement: We aim to complement PAX's work on critical issues like China-United States relations. - Hybrid Model: PAX operates as a hybrid grantmaking and operating foundation, and ONN will be a vital part of its operational work. - Continued Efforts: We will continue to build our activities in foresight and forecasting, research and analysis, monitoring and assessment, and engagement and networks. - Fundraising: As an operational part of the foundation, external fundraising remains crucial to our growth and validation. - Future Grantmaking: PAX plans to open up grantmaking resources for the nuclear community, though specifics are still under review. The longer story: We will be joining other peace and security programmes of the foundation, including Our Secure Future, and the intention is to complement PAX's existing engagement work, such as its work on China-United States relations. PAX is a hybrid grantmaking and operating foundation. The ONN will form part of its operating work. As such, we will bring our existing and emerging efforts in foresight and forecasting, research and analysis, monitoring and assessment, and engagement and networks to the foundation. As with any operating part of a foundation, we're expected to continue to build our activities and growth through external fundraising. There's no getting away from that, as we validate our own worth in terms of how much the wider community, governments and other philanthropic organisations are willing to invest in us. However, the merger is also intended to open up resources for philanthropy. Here, PAX is expected to open up a mirrored effort in grantmaking for the nuclear community. How much we, as a grantmaking foundation, intend to invest in the nuclear community and how we intend to do so is still a matter of internal review. So we're most assuredly not accepting any applications yet. Those who attended the Oppenheimer screening in London last year would have gotten a preview of our founder's intent there. This is a great development for a field and a community that, over the past years, has experienced a virtual draught in investment from both foundations and governments.

A clear strategy based in sound science!

This statement from the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority is significant because it's not limited to any particular plant or site. The advantage of Steady Energy's modular plant is that its design can be approved in advance, and it can then be deployed serially. This way a local energy company, after deciding on an investment, can move directly to planning and implementation.

The INUDECO conference remains the main scientific and practical conference in Ukraine on the problems of Chernobyl and the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. #Chernobyl #Nuclear #Decommissioning

Power is a top priority.

How are we going to power everything?

What is the future development direction and scale of China's hydrogen industry? What are the technical barriers to developing China's hydrogen energy industry? What is the focus of China's international collaboration efforts in the field of green hydrogen? PI's Green Finance Center speaks to Mao Zongqiang (Professor and Doctoral Advisor, Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Tsinghua University and Vice President, International Association for Hydrogen Energy) about these questions and more. https://lnkd.in/gm6KBUjm

🚨 1st VERA Project International Workshop: Assessing Vulnerable Elements and Risks 🌍   We are excited to announce the 1st International Workshop of the VERA Project, in which GEMAC has been participating!   The VERA project is co-funded by the European Commission under the European Civil Protection Mechanism and aims to enhance cross-border cooperation and coordination among civil protection agencies. The project primarily focuses on three hazards: wildfires, floods, and industrial accidents, including nuclear accidents. In addition to showcasing the project's progress, this workshop will explore how the VERA platform complements major European civil protection projects, tools, and programs, such as Copernicus and Galileo.   💻 Webinar 📅 13th November 2024 🕛 10:00 to 13:00 (CET) 🌐 Language: English 📋 Registration free but mandatory: https://bit.ly/01_VERA   Check out more details about the event and the agenda here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJBQcU2E   #VERAProject #RiskManagement #InternationalCooperation #Workshop #Webinar #GEMAC #CESAM #UADAO
