The IAEA Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme 2025 is now open for applications. This fellowship, established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is designed to inspire and support young women in pursuing Master’s degrees in nuclear-related fields, while also promoting gender equality and workforce diversity in the nuclear sector.

Why Apply?
