→ ENS-YGN matchmaking events

ENS-YGN is a vibrant network connecting all Nuclear Young Generation Networks over Europe. These events, including Young Generation workshops, are a huge opportunity for Students, MSc/PhDs or young professionals to meet national / European / International leading managers, innovators and researchers from public and private research organisations.

Around 200 candidates will be selected after having submitted their CV. In depth 30 min face-to-face matchmaking interviews and networking opportunities will be organised for them with leading national / international managers, participating companies or even recruiters. This event will allow companies active in the nuclear industry, public and private research organisations or academia, to meet and interview students, graduates, engineers and experienced professionals to start or pursue their career within Europe and beyond. Institutions such as Nuclear Valley or GIFEN will take part in the event.

ENS -YGN Workshop I –  “Are you ready for the international job market?”
Get ready for a career in nuclear sector! Join this webinar, organised with ENEN and Thomas Thor Associates, which aims to provide practical advices, information, new tools and techniques for a brilliant, international career.

ENS – YGN Workshop II – “Don’t waste it!”

A special session to learn how to speak about nuclear and to share our passion for it. Focusing on the example of nuclear waste, speakers will show how to communicate science, how to lead engaging conversations and to provide facts in an understandable way! A great opportunity … don’t waste it!

ENS – YGN Workshop III – Nuclear for Climate – Positive campaigning on nuclear topics

Global climate activism is more and more engaging, as climate change is day by day more pressing. Grassroots movements, like Nuclear for Climate, are leading successful campaigns sensitising people and, specifically for N4C, aiming to increase the public awareness of the crucial role nuclear power in reducing CO2 emissions and supporting decarbonization. #NetZeroNeedsNuclear COP26 campaign has been a huge success, that we want to replicate.

Climate Fresk” – let’s play! – interactive sessions during the conference

Hugely popular among French enthusiasts of environmental topics, the educational game ‘Climate Fresk’ helps with in-depth understanding of the cause-effect relationship of climate change. Thanks to the discussion-based form, it is adapted for all ages and profiles making it a wonderful occasion for all interested participants to learn and reflect about the issues that concern us all and for which nuclear energy is one of the essential elements solving the puzzle.
