Energo University and I2EN (France): New Opportunities for Future Nuclear Engineers
Energo University (AUPET) and the International Institute of Nuclear Energy (I2EN) from France have discussed the details of a strategic partnership. Given that France generates approximately 70% of its electricity via nuclear power plants, I2EN’s expertise will be instrumental in adapting academic programs to meet current market demands.
What does this mean in practice?
I2EN serves as a vital bridge between major industry players (such as EDF, Framatome, and Orano) and scientific research centers. For students majoring in "Nuclear Power Plants and Installations," this collaboration opens several key pathways:
Academic Mobility: Opportunities to study at prestigious French engineering schools and earn double-degree diplomas.
Internships: Practical training at operational nuclear facilities, providing an inside look at how the industry functions.
Safety Standards: Training based on internationally recognized methodologies, which is critical for a career in nuclear energy.
This strategic approach will ensure the development of highly skilled engineers ready to operate Kazakhstan’s future nuclear power generation facilities.
