“It’s a very good effort by the IAEA to organize webinars [open to everyone],” said a webinar participant who works at a State Regulatory Authority. “It provided an opportunity for me to revisit the fundamentals of safeguards, which I believe will strengthen the foundation of my overall understanding of the topic.”
Topics for 2023 were identified based on areas of general interest and feedback from the previous series. In 2022, 1846 people from 103 countries registered to attend the first series. The series targets State representatives who work as part of their State or regional systems of accounting for and control of nuclear material (SSAC/RSAC) on safeguards-related topics. Participants could also include representatives from international organizations, environmental or energy-related entities, academia and non-governmental organizations.
“Our primary goal is to expand our outreach and create an informal community of safeguards practitioners and experts,” said Rebecca Stevens, Team Lead of Member States Training at the IAEA. “Stakeholder engagement and outreach is an essential part of our work. We aim to develop direct connections with relevant parties in each Member State, as well as create a platform for collaboration to continuously build the capacity of national authorities.”
The webinar series will feature IAEA and international experts with direct knowledge of the subject matter in relevant and successful safeguards implementation programmes. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and to join interactive segments during the webinars.
All webinars are supported and complemented by the online resources developed by the IAEA, which are available on the IAEA’s online learning platform.
Participation in the webinars and access to the learning platform are free and open to all. Click here to register.
