Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) – Fostering communication, public engagement and trust in the nuclear sector

























1000010023

The NEA High-Level Group on Stakeholder Engagement, Trust, Transparency, and Social Sciences (HLG-SET) met in Paris this past month to discuss the ongoing activities in its key focal areas in support of fostering communication, public engagement and building trust to inform high-level policy.

During the meeting, HLG-SET delegates discussed the significant progress being made on their three main bodies of work, which focus on developing tools to gauge perception and the factors that influence it, compilation of best practices and lessons learnt on engagement, trust and transparency, and strategic planning relevant to the work of the group. The meeting was held on the sidelines of the NEA Fourth Stakeholder Involvement Workshop, an event that was jointly organised by the Committee on Radiological Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) Extended Programme Committee in collaboration with the HLG-SET. The case studies that were discussed during the workshop will serve as practical examples on how to ensure meaningful engagement with divere stakeholders to build and maintain trust with transparency.

A key topic of discussion by HLG-SET delegates focused on emerging trends and the application of nuclear technology and innovation to meet societal needs now and in the future. Given the wide range of nuclear applications and the cross-cutting nature of stakeholder engagement, HLG-SET continues to establish strong ties with groups across the NEA, including CRPPH, the Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC), the Expert Group on Public Communication of Nuclear Regulatory Organisations (EGPC), the Nuclear Education, Skills and Technology (NEST) Framework, the Working Group on Leadership and Safety Culture (WGLSC) and others to benefit from their expertise, to leverage efforts and deliver its mandate.
