The 5th School of Russia and IAEA on Nuclear Knowledge Management was held in Moscow at the Rosatom Technical Academy.
The event brought together 28 representatives from 14 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the CIS.
Viktor Mazepov, Director for International Cooperation of the Rosatom Technical Academy, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech: “As an IAEA Collaborating Center, we are committed to sharing our expertise and contributing to the accumulation, preservation, distribution and application of knowledge. In 5 years, the school has trained 145 people from more than 20 countries.”
During the five-day session, participants discussed a wide range of issues related to nuclear knowledge management. The main topics included methods for preserving critical information, developing a training system for the nuclear industry, introducing innovative approaches to knowledge management, and strengthening international cooperation. Leading experts from the IAEA and Russia presented practical experience in preserving and sharing knowledge.
“We worked in groups. Sharing experiences with colleagues from other countries has allowed me to learn more about the process of collecting and disseminating critical knowledge. I believe this is important to ensure the safety and efficiency of nuclear facilities. I learned practical tools and methodologies that I will be able to apply in my research,” shared the opinion of a participant of the school, an employee of the National Agency for Research and Innovation of Indonesia, Oquiandra Putrianti.
