To Replace the Collaboration Agreement between the regional education networks signed in 2017, Chair Xiao Jing Guo has signed a new collaboration agreement on behalf of ANENT members on February 25, 2021.

By signing this agreement, the eight networks pledged to collaborate on a variety of topics. The topics include 1) leadership and management skills, 2) research and development on nuclear education and technology, 3) sharing information teaching materials and tools for education, training and outreach related to nuclear technology, and 4) exchanging students, teachers and researchers. The agreement’s work plan will be reviewed and agreed by the networks annually.

This new agreement will remain valid for a period of four years after signature by all networks. Please refer to the attached file to view the signed agreement.
