IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) was launched
in 2020 by the IAEA Director General to increase the number of women in
the nuclear field, supporting an inclusive workforce of men and women
who contribute to and drive global scientific and technological
innovation. The programme aims to inspire and encourage women to
pursue a career in the nuclear related field, by providing highly
motivated female students with scholarships for master’s programmes and
an opportunity to pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA.
Scholarships are awarded annually. In the selection of students,
consideration is given to geographic and field of study diversity, in
addition to eligibility requirements and other criteria. The selected
students are awarded up to €20,000 for tuition costs and up to €20,000
for living costs for their master’s programme (the amount will vary
depending on the duration of the programme, costs associated with
tuition as well as location of the studies). Upon completion of their
studies, students who pursue an internship facilitated by the IAEA, in
line with their specialization in the nuclear field, are also provided
with a stipend for up to 12 months. The internships may take place at
the IAEA or in nuclear organizations in the public or private sector.
Additionally, students are provided with opportunities to attend and
participate in various educational, professional, and networking events.
MSCFP recipients also have a chance to become a part of the programme’ s
LinkedIn Student and Alumni Group where they can connect with their
peers and exchange knowledge and experience, as well as find out about
technical events and career opportunities. Since its launch in 2020,
MSCFP has received 2271 applications, selecting 560 students from 121
nationalities studying in 72 countries worldwide. By end of March 2024,
201 students have already completed their master’s programme with
support of MSCFP. From these graduates, 110 have been confirmed for an
internship facilitated by the IAEA at the IAEA departments and labs
(Seibersdorf and Monaco), IAEA Collaborating Centres, and other nuclear
organizations in the public or private sector in various countries The
internships are linked to the students’ areas of specialization in
fields ranging from nuclear energy, nuclear science and applications,
nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear safety and security and nuclear
law. The remaining graduates have pursued PhD studies or obtained
employment in their field. The programme is envisaged to grow each year
to ensure more women have an opportunity to pursue advanced education
in the nuclear related field. More information about the programme Related Articles
