Women are under-represented in the nuclear energy sector, especially in leadership roles. The future of the nuclear industry requires a robust and diverse workforce to not only drive performance and innovation, but also to ensure public health and safety and protect the environment. The need for this robust and diverse workforce extends to the field of nuclear law. The Women in Nuclear Law Initiative (WiNLI) was launched in March 2023 under the framework of the partnership between Women in Nuclear (WiN) Global and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to address this issue.
WiNLI aims to promote and strengthen the involvement of women in nuclear law by attracting, retaining and promoting current and future talents in this interesting and unique field and to enhance the attractiveness of nuclear law as an exciting and dynamic practice area.
WiNLI's first general meeting will be held on Tuesday, 25 February 2025 from 14:00-15:00 CET. Anyone interested in joining WiNLI is welcome to attend. The Secretariat will provide a brief overview of WiNLI and recent actions and the five WiNLI Committee co-Chairs will present on the planned activities for 2025. If you have not already joined WiNLI and would like to do so, please fill out the information form here.
