About the event
Save the date and mark your calendars for the 25th Nuclear Inter Jura Congress, which will take place in Warsaw, Poland, from Sunday 3 to Thursday 7 November 2024.
This will be the 25th Congress in a series of INLA conferences that have become the leading international event that brings together representatives of government, regulatory authorities, nuclear specialists, legal professionals, academics and others involved in nuclear law. The purpose of the Congress is to promote the study of legal issues associated with the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to encourage the exchange of information in this field.
The Nuclear Inter Jura 2024 Congress will be organized in Poland by International Nuclear Law Association (INLA) jointly and in cooperation with the Lower Silesian Institute for Energy Studies (DISE Energy).
Lower silesian institute for energy studies (dise)
The Lower Silesian Institute for Energy Studies (https://dise.org.pl/en/), based in Wrocław (Poland), is one of the most important Polish Think Tanks dealing with the issues of energy security and transformation, gas market liberalization, financial management of energy companies and the issues of efficiency of infrastructure projects in the energy sector. DISE is a Foundation joining a group of experienced experts: economic practitioners, managers from the energy and mining industries, as well as representatives of the world of science.
The organization of the Congress by Poland is in line with the objectives of the Strategy and Policy on Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection of the Republic of Poland. Moreover, the Congress will be a particularly important event in the context of preparing national entities and institutions to implement tasks under the Polish Nuclear Power Program (PNPP), as well as tasks and challenges related to the implementation of new technologies in Poland, including small modular reactors (SMRs).
The Congress will be a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas on the performance of those functions at all stages of the nuclear facility life cycle. During the event we will explore new solutions to contemporary challenges and share experiences. It will also be an excellent opportunity to discuss legal and regulatory aspects as regards to new technologies, planned investments, suppliers, local contents, while highlighting the scope of INLA Working Groups’ interests.
