Background

The Nuclear Energy University Programs will hold its annual workshop for universities on July 27–28, 2010, at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Executive Meeting Center in Rockville, Maryland. The workshop will provide U.S. university researchers and educators the opportunity to understand and weigh in on the proposed scope of the Nuclear Energy University Programs’ Funding Opportunity Announcement for FY 2011, to review and discuss lessons learned from the FY 2010 solicitation process, and to become familiar with the anticipated research and development priorities of the various Office of Nuclear Energy programs. All parts of the NEUP will be discussed including R&D solicitations, Infrastructure Grants (Equipment and Reactors) and Fellowships/Scholarships.

Round table discussions will provide ample opportunity for questions and constructive dialogue on research requirements for the Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems Initiative, New Reactor Concepts and the Fuel Cycle Research and Development programs.

Workshop Attendance

Attendance is limited; the first 200 participants registered will be included on a first-come-first-served basis. All interested parties are asked to pre-register by July 2, 2010, to allow adequate time to plan for the event. Pre-registration also facilitates gathering attendee contact information in order to disseminate future program-related information. 

Please note that, although they take place during the same week, the NEUP workshop and NEET workshop are separate events. You must register for each workshop individually.
