The 2017 WNU Summer Institute will be held from 27 June to 4 August in Uppsala, Sweden. On-line applications are open.

The WNU Summer Institute is an intensive six-week programme for future nuclear leaders held annually in different locations. The Summer Institute offers a comprehensive programme of lectures, tutorials, field trips to nuclear and industrial facilities, and team projects led by some of the world’s foremost authorities. These cover the global environment and sustainable development, nuclear-related technology innovation, nuclear diplomacy and nuclear operations. The programme also includes cultural and social events.

Each WNU Summer Institute involves some 80 participants, called Fellows, selected from promising nuclear professionals who have demonstrated strong leadership potential. WNU Fellows become part of an expanding global network of future leaders in the nuclear profession. Since the Summer Institute’s inception in 2005, a total of some 917 Fellows from 78 countries have successfully completed the WNU Summer Institute.
