Monetary prizes will be awarded.
The subject matter
We encourage you to give a talk on any nuclear-related topic, whether technical, social or personal. We hope that this scope will encourage the involvement of those of you who are new to the industry, as well as the more experienced people. For those of you wishing to present a “commercial/sensitive topic”, we remind you of the importance of obtaining permission from your employer.
Topics may include:
- Nuclear innovation and technology
- Net zero and sustainability
- Nuclear safety and regulation
- Public perception and communication
- Early-career experiences in nuclear
The experience
The objective is to encourage you to gain valuable experience in communication skills before a live audience. Emphasis is placed on presentation rather than the overall content.
