IAEA Nuclear Energy Management and Stakeholder Engagement Schools Conclude in Moscow

Two international schools, jointly organized by the IAEA and the Russian Federation, have concluded in Moscow, marking another milestone in the IAEA’s capacity building efforts.

Two international schools, jointly organized by the IAEA and the Russian Federation, have concluded in Moscow, marking another milestone in the IAEA’s capacity building efforts. 

Hosted at the Moscow branch of the Rosatom Technical Academy, the schools brought together 60 participants from 26 countries. The events highlighted a key message: the success of nuclear power projects depends not only on advanced technology, but also on strong leadership and the trust of communities.

“To develop and run a nuclear programme, we need more than technology – we need people,” said Mikhail Chudakov, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Energy. “Skilled professionals are the ones who plan, operate, and engage with communities. This is why capacity building is so important.”

As the world faces challenges from climate change, energy security and growing electricity demand, nuclear energy is now recognized as part of the solution. The IAEA’s latest projections show that global nuclear capacity could rise from about 377 GW today to nearly 1000 GW by 2050 in the high case scenario. Meeting this goal will require not only technology, but also leaders who combine technical expertise with social responsibility, ensuring that projects are managed effectively and trusted by the communities they serve. 

Nuclear Energy Management School

The annual Russian Federation-IAEA Nuclear Energy Management School provided participants with insights into the full lifecycle of nuclear projects, including nuclear policy, licensing, safety culture, fuel cycle management and safeguards. Through lectures, panel discussions and group activities, participants strengthened their ability to lead complex projects in diverse national contexts. The school also featured a technical tour of the four-unit Kalininskaya Nuclear Power Plant, which has been in operation since the 1980s.

“This was a very valuable experience, giving us hands-on training with technical tools and the chance to see how safety measures are applied at an operating nuclear facility,” said Alexander Agyenim-Boateng of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission.

Nuclear Stakeholder Engagement School

The Nuclear Stakeholder Engagement School focused on the human side of nuclear projects. Discussions echoed a key message: at every stage of a nuclear power project  – from siting to decommissioning  –  open dialogue, transparent communication and lasting community relationships are crucial for success. The programme included visits to a nuclear power plant and the Atom Pavilion, a museum dedicated to nuclear science and technology. Participants also had a chance to share experiences from their home countries and explored best practices in engagement strategies, partnership building and crisis communication. 

“This school was an enriching experience that combined high-quality content, generous knowledge sharing and a practical approach to building real skills,” said Maria Arcidiacono of Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission. “It made clear that the future of nuclear energy depends on trust. In Argentina, as in every country, engaging openly with local communities is essential and this programme provided valuable tools to make dialogue part of every step in developing nuclear projects.”

In May this year, the IAEA hosted the first International Conference on Stakeholder Engagement for Nuclear Power Programmes, which brought together policymakers, industry leaders, civil society representatives and community leaders, demonstrating that inclusive dialogue is essential for nuclear development.

IAEA capacity building support

The IAEA assists countries through capacity building, skills development and international cooperation. The recent schools held in Moscow are practical examples of this support, equipping participants with the knowledge, tools and networks needed to advance nuclear energy safely, securely and sustainably. The next Stakeholder Engagement School will be hosted by the United States from 3 to 7 November, further reinforcing these global capacity building efforts.
