While 53% of bachelor’s graduates are female globally, their proportion as doctoral students falls to 43% and among science and engineering researchers to 28%. With this in mind, the Council of Advisors is refining activities to address the augmentation of the number of women in the nuclear field.
As part of this effort, Working Group 1 members have initiated the Rising Stars Programme, which puts the weight of the NEA and the Global Forum on Nuclear Education’s academic institutions behind efforts to mentor and encourage female leaders in the nuclear field. The Rising Stars does this by connecting participants with resources, people and support that helps to welcome and integrate them into the global nuclear community.
