The jury of representatives from wide range of respected field organizations, such as AFCONE, Ethiopian Nuclear Expert Group, WIN Africa and others, will select three winning teams.

“Nuclear energy holds immense potential for Africa, offering numerous benefits for the continent’s sustainable development. By embracing nuclear technology, African countries can foster economic growth, create job opportunities, and drive innovation in various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, and industry.

The Atoms Empowering Africa competition serves as a platform to raise awareness about these benefits and inspire the next generation of African scientists and engineers to explore the potential of nuclear energy”, said Ryan Collyer, Chief Executive Officer of Rosatom Central and Southern Africa.
