Forum brings together young professionals from across the nuclear energy
industry
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) is a Gold Sponsor for the European
Nuclear Young Generation Forum 2017 (ENYGF2017) to be held from June
11-16, at the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, U.K. ENYGF brings
together students and young professionals from across the nuclear energy
generation industry to provide an international platform for sharing
experiential knowledge and best practices. The biennial event was last
held in Paris in 2015, and united more than 350 delegates from 27
countries.
This year’s event is being organized by the U.K. Nuclear Institute’s
Young Generation Network (YGN) on behalf of the European Nuclear
Society. The theme for ENYGF2017 is “Innovation in Nuclear: a Rich
Heritage and our Bright Future.” The week-long program includes expert
speakers, interactive workshops and technical tours to nuclear energy
sites around the U.K., as well as extensive networking opportunities
with some of the industry’s leading technical experts. ENYGF2017 also
provides an opportunity to showcase the U.K. nuclear energy industry’s
innovation and expertise.
“With the significant investment programs planned for U.K. Energy, it is
critical for the nuclear and infrastructure industries to remain highly
focused on attracting new talent,” said Jacobs Vice President Aerospace
and Technology Europe Peter Lutwyche. “The European Nuclear Young
Generation Forum is a great opportunity for Jacobs to meet the next
generation of innovators and for young people to learn more about the
future of the industry. We look forward to engaging with the delegates,
sharing insights from some of our exciting projects and contributing to
the technical innovation discussions that will emerge over the week.”
“It is great to have an established player such as Jacobs as a sponsor
of our program,” said the 2016 Chair of the U.K. Nuclear Institute’s
Young Generation Network Alys Gardner. “ENYGF is a once-in-a-career
opportunity for people to take part in a conference which showcases the
innovative work that young nuclear energy professionals are involved in
across the U.K. and around the world. This is our chance to shape the
future of the industry. I strongly encourage young professionals to get
involved, both in the ENYGF and in the numerous other events that the
YGN runs each year. It is essential that we support the future leaders
of our industry and provide them with the knowledge and skills required
to deliver a safe and sustainable future for nuclear energy.”
The event also offers the opportunity for young professionals to give a
presentation or present a poster on their area of expertise or special
interest. The application process is accessible at www.enygf.org.
