Joint ICTP-IAEA Nuclear Stakeholder Engagement School is a 5-day training course designed to enhance understanding and raise awareness of stakeholder engagement as an essential element of a complete nuclear power programme.

For a nuclear energy project to be successful, stakeholder engagement must be embedded in the organizational management processes and its core values. Engagement needs to start at an early stage of the project and continue throughout the nuclear fuel cycle and the life cycle of nuclear facilities. A well-established stakeholder engagement strategy that includes tools for seeking out, listening to and acting upon various stakeholders views, is essential. Such an approach is a prerequisite for a sustainable nuclear energy project and enhances public confidence in the decision making process.
