Instructions for the submission
This special issue seeks to highlight and celebrate research and innovation achievements in the nuclear sector within EU Member States and Euratom-associated countries. As part of the open call for proposals for the Nuclear Innovation Prizes, the nine winning entries will have the opportunity to showcase their work and innovations in this edition through a dedicated paper. The contest aims to identify and recognize disruptive innovations across the entire product development and supply chain, from research to market, where researchers and engineers play a pivotal role.
In addition to the nine Nuclear Innovation Prizes selected through the ongoing open call, the research community is invited to submit abstracts that demonstrate original research activities in the nuclear sector, particularly in the areas of reactor systems, radioprotection, and radioactive waste management. Priority will be given to the work of young researchers and PhD students, emphasizing the importance of promoting the next generation within the nuclear research community. While abstracts may relate to co-funded EC projects, they should not be redundant or strictly cover the scope of an existing Euratom co-funded action.
Submitted abstracts will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Originality and replicability
- Technical excellence
- Economic impact and potential for innovation exploitation
Authors of selected abstracts will be notified and granted the opportunity to either draft a full paper or to submit a poster, detailing and showcasing their research.
- with a deadline of December 15 – these works take part in the best abstracts competition (Awards Edition) – the 10 best will be selected by a scientific committee and the authors will be invited to write a full paper, the rest posters or videos
- with a deadline after December 15 – here it is only possible to prepare an abstract or video (but we have more time to submit).
