Components
IAEA Regional Cooperation Agreements
The IAEA Regional Cooperation Agreements are frameworks established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to promote and facilitate cooperation among countries within specific geographical regions in the field of nuclear science and technology. These agreements aim to enhance the capabilities of member states in using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, promote nuclear safety and security, and encourage sustainable development across various sectors, including health, agriculture, energy, and environment. Through these agreements, member states collaborate on research, share best practices, and access technical resources and training opportunities provided by the IAEA and other member states.
IAEA Technical Cooperation Projects
IAEA Technical Cooperation Projects are initiatives developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to support member states in enhancing their scientific and technical capabilities in the peaceful use of nuclear technology. Only projects identified as "New" or "Active" within the "Energy" topic are included to ensure relevance and timeliness. Notably, projects involving participation from Austria are generally excluded from certain summaries since Austria, hosting the IAEA headquarters, participates in most projects.
