During the World Nuclear Exhibition in Paris 2025, the Vin\u010da Institute of Nuclear Sciences signed a memorandum of cooperation with \u00c9lectricit\u00e9 de France (EDF).<\/p>\n

The Serbian Vin\u010da Institute of Nuclear Sciences<\/a> said its new memorandum of cooperation with French state-owned energy utility EDF establishes a framework for scientific, technological, and educational cooperation in the nuclear energy sector.<\/p>\n

The document was signed by the Vin\u010da Institute\u2019s CEO Slavko Dimovi\u0107 and Vakisasai Ramany, EDF\u2019s Senior Vice President for International Nuclear Development.<\/p>\n

Four main sectors of cooperation<\/p>\n

The deal envisages joint activities in the areas of scientific research cooperation, professional training and development of employees, international exchange, and public communication on nuclear topics, according to the institute.<\/p>\n

The goal is to enhance knowledge, develop expertise, and promote informed public discussion about the potential role of nuclear energy in our country, the Vin\u010da Institute revealed in a social network post.<\/p>\n

The International Institute of Nuclear Energy I2EN<\/a>, founded by EDF, will play a key role in implementing the educational programs. It will organize joint academic projects, student exchanges, and research visits.<\/p>\n

Dimovi\u0107: The memorandum is a pledge that we are going to support the growth of young scientists and engineers<\/p>\n

The Vin\u010da Institute\u2019s CEO Slavko Dimovi\u0107 stressed that the memorandum represents a continuation of the Serbian-French friendship and an important step toward strengthening the institute\u2019s international cooperation and the exchange of knowledge with one of the world\u2019s leaders in the nuclear energy sector.<\/p>\n

The Vin\u010da Institute has long stood as a pillar of scientific and nuclear excellence in Serbia and the region, in his view. EDF brings expertise, experience, knowledge and strong commitment to innovation and the future, Dimovi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis memorandum is not just a document, it\u2019s a pledge that we are going to learn from each other, to support the growth of young scientists and engineers, and to promote and help public acceptance of nuclear energy in Serbia,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n

EDF is active in the region<\/p>\n

The Government of Serbia and EDF signed a memorandum of cooperation in April 2024<\/a>. A few months later, in September, EDF and Egis Industries were awarded a contract<\/a> for a preliminary technical study for considering the peaceful use of nuclear energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

France and EDF are very active in the energy sector in the region. The company has established cooperation with the Government of Montenegro<\/a>, and with the country\u2019s power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG).<\/a> France and Slovenia recently signed a declaration on cooperation<\/a> in the nuclear energy sector, while EDF is in the race to build the new Kr\u0161ko 2 nuclear power plant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a bilateral level, Serbia has established contacts or started cooperation in the nuclear energy sphere with China<\/a>,\u00a0France<\/a>,\u00a0Russia<\/a>,\u00a0Slovenia<\/a>, the United States, and South Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n
