About Us

 

Our goal is to help create a network of global industry leaders.

To support the efforts of these leaders, and thus the safe and responsible use of nuclear power worldwide, MIT has launched the International Nuclear Leadership Education Program. This new leadership education course focuses on the governance strategies, operational practices, and technologies required for a successful nuclear energy program. The course, which has been developed with the support of the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations and in consultation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations, draws on a wide range of experiences and insights from around the world. The participants will be those who have or are expected to have broad responsibilities for managing and regulating civil nuclear energy activities. This includes senior executives at electric power companies, high-level government officials including regulators, and possibly also opinion leaders including senior journalists and NGO representatives. While the primary focus is on the leadership of ‘new’ nuclear countries, we also welcome participants from countries that are further along the path of civil nuclear development.

Participation is by invitation only. Each class will consist of about 20 participants, drawn from several countries. The instructors include faculty from MIT and other universities as well as an international group of prominent experts and practitioners from industry and government.
