Nuclear law is a highly specialised area of law with limited training available in universities and law schools. Organisations like the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) offer continuing legal education programmes but given the growing interest in nuclear, more trainings and webinars are needed to both introduce nuclear law to a broader, more general audience as well as go further in depth on specific topics to a specialised audience. As part of the Women in Nuclear Law Initiative's (WiNLI) Programme of Work, the group aims to produce online and in-person trainings and webinars directed at both the general public as well as the specialised nuclear law community.
WiNLI's first webinar will provide a high-level overview of nuclear law aimed at the general public. Featuring speakers from the IAEA, NEA and Canadian nuclear regulator, the webinar will address topics such as: treaties and conventions and standard setting; co-operative problem solving, joint projects, best practices and consensus opinions among member countries; co-operation between international intergovernmental bodies; and interactions between national regulators and international intergovernmental bodies. The webinar will consist of three brief presentations followed by a question and answer session with the speakers.
The webinar is scheduled to be held on 27 March 2025 from 13:00-14:00 CET.
