IRSN hosted a European meeting in Brussels to prepare for the Euratom 2023-2025 call for projects at the Maison Irène et Frédéric Joliot-Curie

The Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) association, of which IRSN is a member, organized a "Coordinators Hub Day" seminar bringing together coordinators of projects involved in EU-funded consortia under EURATOM and Commission representatives. Indeed, SNETP works in favour of innovation in the nuclear field and in particular in safety, and one of its missions is to be a facilitator in the development of actions, and to be a real catalyst of the European ecosystem in its field.

The event was held on March 14, 2023 at the Maison Irène et Frédéric Joliot-Curie (MIFJC) in Brussels, of which IRSN is a member. The MIFJC helps strengthen the presence and participation of French science in the European Commission, the European Parliament, and operators active in the political, economic and social sphere in Brussels.

This day of exchanges was the occasion for the coordinators to confront their expectations to the reality and to bring solutions to overcome the difficulties encountered (in terms of management, administration). They were also able to have privileged exchanges with the project leaders of the European Commission concerned, in order to understand the practical needs of the research community and to develop common solutions.

SNETP also presented potential solutions that could help all types of projects and promote synergies with all relevant tools in the fields of training (the ENEN association participated in the event), communication and the efficient use of National Contact Points (NCPs) in particular.
