TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The International Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology 2024 will kick off in Iran’s central city of Isfahan today, with the participation of hundreds of domestic and foreign researchers, scientists and officials.
The conference will officially open on Monday evening in a ceremony to be attended by Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami. It will run until May 8.
The AEOI’s deputy chief said over 500 scientific articles have been submitted to the conference, which includes 16 specialized panels, round-table meetings, and an exhibition.
Around 100 academic speakers, including over 50 foreigners, will take part in the conference in person or via videoconference to expound on the latest scientific achievements in the nuclear industry, Javad Karimi Sabet said.
Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi is also scheduled to partake in the conference, which also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
In comments in February, Eslami hailed the growing coordination between Iran and the IAEA, expressing hope that the course of cooperation would continue to enable Iran to shatter the atmosphere the enemies seek to create against its nuclear industry.
