The 6th edition of World Nuclear Exhibition will be held from November 4 to 6, 2025. WNE is the main international event for all players in the civil nuclear industry. Organised every two years in Paris, the exhibition brings together professionals from the entire value chain who operate throughout the world and contribute every day to the excellence of the industry.
This year, the French Embassy to Sweden and the Institut français de Suède, in collaboration with Svenskt Kärntekniskt Centrum (SKC, the Swedish Centre for Nuclear Technology), will give five students the opportunity to attend this major event through the distribution of mobility grants.
Who can apply:
This call is open to master and PhD students studying or conducting research in a Swedish university, with no condition on nationality.
About the grant:
The registration to the exhibition is free (registration link HERE). The financial support consists of a lump sum of 10,000SEK. This grant will aim at covering the travel and accommodation costs of selected students from November 3 to November 6.
Selection procedure:
Applications will be evaluated by a jury set up by the Institut français de Suède and SKC. A total of five grants will be awarded. Two spots are reserved for students that attended a SKC event during 2025.
