Technical universities have a public responsibility in the field of education of well-prepared professional for sustainable, safe, reliable, secure, and economical nuclear power production. To help to achieve this goal V4 and Korean universities are going to meet regularly, share experiences and knowledge, and look for ways to cooperate.

Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic have successfully and safely operated nuclear power plants for more than 30 years, and all four V4 countries see nuclear power as an integral part of their future low-carbon energy mix and their way of energy independence, competitiveness, independence, and security. A partnership between universities of the V4 countries is a straightforward step. The cooperation offers of the universities of the Republic of Korea, which has been building nuclear power plants continuously since 1971, and whose company KHNP will build new units in the Czech Republic, is a natural and unique opportunity for the countries of the Central Europe.

The 2nd forum will gather leading technical university presidents, members of academia, and nuclear engineering experts from the Visegrád Group (V4) and the Republic of Korea (ROK) to discuss the future of nuclear energy and role of university education in empowering of the next generation. The event will serve as a unique platform to foster international collaboration, share knowledge and experience, and explore the potential of nuclear energy in the center of Europe.

University presidents, rectors, vice-rector, deans, professors, and researchers will sit together with decision makers and stakeholders, active politicians, nuclear industry companies’ CEOs, and media representatives to create framework to nuclear university education and the roadmap of mutual cooperative activities in the most important time of our energy sector development, ensuring of our security, our prosperity, and responsibility to the environment, climate, and the upcoming generation.
