Membership

of the European Nuclear Society

ENS was founded in 1975 and is the federation of 23 nuclear societies from 23 countries — stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals and on across Russia to the Pacific. ENS connects these national nuclear member societies with the principle aim of fostering and coordinating their activities on an international level. In relation to this, the society encourages the exchange of scientists and engineers between different countries and sponsors meetings devoted to scientific and technical matters and to the communication on nuclear applications. At the same time, ENS serves as the Brussels-based contact point with relevant European institutions and international governmental and non-governmental organisations and with other organisations having similar aims.

A network of people

ENS comprises more than 20,000 professionals from industry, the academic world, research centres and authorities : people who voluntary commit themselves to generate ideas and to take up responsibilities, who have the enthusiasm to get things done and the curiosity to learn from colleagues and from people outside the network

Connecting with other parts of the world

ENS has three Associate Member Societies in Australia, Israel and Morocco and has collaboration agreements with the American Nuclear Society, the Argentinean Nuclear Energy Association, the Canadian and the Chinese Nuclear Societies. Also, through working groups and regular information exchange meetings reflecting mainly on issues dealing with nuclear and sustainable development, ENS works closely together with Nuclear Forums such as FORATOM, the World Nuclear Association, the Nuclear Energy Institute (US), the Japanese Atomic Industry Forum and the Canadian Nuclear Association.
