Calling all early-career researchers
The Young Scientists Workshop (YSW) at KERNTec 2026 invites you to present your research, discuss innovative ideas, and connect with leaders in nuclear science and engineering. The workshop will take place 29–30 September 2026 at the Further education and conference centre on the KIT North Campus, Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Young Scientists Workshop provides a unique platform for early-career researchers to showcase their work, exchange knowledge, and engage with experts from academia, industry, and regulatory authorities. Contributions are welcome from all areas of nuclear science and engineering, including:
Fission and fusion
Nuclear fuel cycle
Reactor technology and safety systems
Decommissioning and waste management













Selected authors will have the opportunity to present their work during the YSW sessions. Outstanding contributions will be recognised by a jury, and the best papers will win a Financial Capability Award.
If submissions exceed available presentation slots, additional participation opportunities will be offered through an A0 poster session, allowing more young researchers to showcase their work and engage in discussion.
Beyond the scientific programme, KERNTec 2026 provides a unique networking environment. Industry representatives and companies will host small recruiting booths, offering participants the chance to explore career opportunities and build valuable professional connections early in their careers.
