On Tuesday 24th of October, the French Institute in Prague, together with I2EN, is organising an all-day seminar for students and professionals, where they will learn about the possibilities of study, internships and job opportunities (not only) in France. The event is free and will take place at the French Institute in Prague (Štěpánská 35, Prague 1) from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Czech and English. You can participate on-site or online.
The discussion will be introduced by the Ambassador of France to the Czech Republic and a representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic. More information about the event can be found on the IFP website.
On the agenda:
- Nuclear energy in the Czech national strategy and policy
- Job opportunities in the nuclear sector
- Academic paths and mobility opportunities in the nuclear sector
- Why choose a nuclear career? Testimonies of young engineers
- Nuclear is high-tech!
- The socio-economic impact of new nuclear
The French Ambassador to the Czech Republic and a representative of the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade will introduce the discussions.
The aim of the organizers is to increase the attractiveness of the nuclear sector – especially for students and young graduates in nuclear fields. Both the Czech Republic and France have ambitious nuclear energy development programmes that will bring a large number of job opportunities across various sectors of the field.
The changes are related to the effort to respond to the challenges associated with the transition to low-carbon technologies and to achieve the goals of the Green Deal approved by the European Union. Nuclear energy will be a key element of the Czech energy mix in the coming years. Representatives of ČEZ are now selecting a company that will build the fifth unit of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Currently, France's EDF, the American Westinghouse and the South Korean company KHNP are competing for the contract.
Whether you're a student or a young professional, come and discover the wide range of training offer in this field, as well as the associated professions and career paths, at this event, and talk to numerous experts in the sector!
This event is organized by I2EN (International Institute of Nuclear Energy) and the French Institute of Prague.
