Organization of MeV

The MeV Summer School is intended to fill a critical educational gap for engineers and applied scientists involved in the design, licensing, and operation of 21st century nuclear power plants. With the nuclear renaissance comes the expectation that hundreds of reactors will be operating worldwide by mid-century. Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of those plants, most of which will run for over 60 years, is a challenge worthy of the most dedicated professionals. The MeV experience will provide them with better tools for that task.

The school is organized through the cooperation of multiple stakeholders with a shared goal of building a strong workforce to support global nuclear expansion. The faculty will be drawn from top experts in universities and laboratories. The general organization and conduct of the school will be overseen by an international board of senior experts. A local secretariat will provide technical, logistical, and administrative support to students and faculty.
