The future use of nuclear technology in the Asian region will depend inter alia on how well this helps meet national sustainable development goals and especially the growing energy needs while at the same time relieving environmental burdens and improves quality of life. Critical to the development and wider use of nuclear technology in both power and non power applications will be the availability of “soft infrastructure”, qualified human resource, information, knowledge, skills and experience.
The Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology is a new regional partnership for cooperation in capacity building, human resource development and scientific research in nuclear technology supported by the IAEA.
ANENT is set up to promote, manage and preserve nuclear knowledge and to ensure the continued availability of talented and qualified human resources in the nuclear field in the Asian region and to enhance the quality of the human resources for the sustainability of nuclear technology.
