ENS YGN
The ENS YGN is very active at the moment planning
its 10th anniversary that will be celebrated in Zagreb, Croatia
in June later this year. There will be a three-day event with
a technical program focusing on waste issues as well as technical
and social tours. In parallel with these celebration the global
umbrella organisation for Young Generations worldwide, IYNC, will
have a regional, i.e. European event. Programs and registration
information will follow during the spring.
Apart from that the ENS YGN will have a session
at PIME in Paris with several interesting presentations on our
activities. So if you are at PIME, do not miss out the opportunity
to mingle and exchange with the future!
The global umbrella organisation mentioned above
is called International Youth Nuclear Congress, thus the acronym,
IYNC. It is an organisation with by-laws registered in California,
USA. The aim is to provide a network between national Young Generations
worldwide and to act as a focal point for these to interact. The
IYNC has a homepage that is updated continuously that can be found
on www.iync.org where more information about the organisation
can be found. The IYNC, as the name implies, provide its members
with the opportunity to meet at different congresses. The first
such congress was held in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2000 and the
success that it proved to be laid ground for a continuation and
survival of IYNC. Two years later the second congress, IYNC2002
was held in Daejon, South Korea attracting hundreds of young and
enthusiastic people from all over the world and two years after
that the turn went to Toronto, Canada to host IYNC2004. And the
story goes on! In June 2006 all young professionals and students
with relevant interest are welcome to Sweden and Finland for IYNC2006.
ENS YGN plays a vital part in the preparations for IYNC2006 together
with people from all other continents and together we shoulder
the responsibility to ensure the continuation of this truly dynamic
global network.
The IYNC2006 will start with a welcome reception
on June 18 in one and a half year. The welcome reception will
be held in the city hall of Stockholm where the Noble Banquet
annually takes place. After that a technical program with four
parallel tracks will occupy delegates for three days before everybody
goes on a technical tour to Finland where a visit to Olkiluoto
takes place. As you all know, the site where the world’s
first EPR is under construction.
One of the basic ideas of IYNC is also to make
sure that there is a knowledge transfer. Not only the senior management
of companies have noticed that some are retiring pretty soon.
The young community worldwide recognise this as well. Our contribution
to combat potential problems imposed by this fact is to provide
a platform where contacts between generations can be established.
Face to face. The upcoming congress in 2006 will act as such a
platform. Book your calendar already now and make sure to come
to Sweden and Finland between 18 and 23 June 2006! The organising
committee of IYNC2006 can, to a certain extent provide meeting
rooms in parallel and in conjunction with the congress. These
rooms could be used by working groups from different organisations
from all over the world to have their respective meetings serving
as a dual purpose and cost effective way of planning.
Please do not hesitate to contact the ENS YGN
if you have any wonders or comments. In the coming E-bulletins
we will further describe the upcoming congresses and yes, why
not, if you have something that you wishes to have our view on
this could be a good forum for that…
