Organized by:
WHAT: 2024 Workshop on Nuclear-Environmental Engineering & Science Education
WHEN: The Workshop will begin on July 31, 2024, with an opening reception and will end on August 2, 2024
WHERE: Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee
WHY: Engineers and scientists that have knowledge and experience working with nuclear technologies and environmental protection and cleanup methods, are essential to support U.S. needs. Because the existing nuclear-environmental workforce is aging and there is not an adequate pipeline of qualified personnel it is imperative that academic institutions grow existing educational programs or launch new ones that are focused on this field of study and are designed to meet the needs of governmental and industrial partners.
