“''The Lise Meitner Programme provided me with a unique and invaluable opportunity to connect with women nuclear professionals from across the globe. Through engaging in technical workshops, presentations, professional development activities, and facility tours, I was able to build meaningful bonds and exchange knowledge and experiences with fellow professionals in the field. This experience not only enhanced my technical skills and understanding but also fostered a supportive network of colleagues and mentors, creating a lasting impact on my professional development."”

““My time immersed in the Lise Meitner Programme was enriching, providing valuable insights and experiences. As a Ghanaian postdoc researcher at Tsinghua University Hefei Institute of Public Safety Research, I found the programme exceptionally well-structured and immensely beneficial. Moreover, my journey allowed me to explore the rich tapestry of Korean culture, embracing its warmth, hospitality, and delectable cuisine. The opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives and exchange knowledge has been invaluable to my professional growth and personal development.””

““A nuclear odyssey! That’s how I would describe the 2024 Lise Meitner Programme visit to the Republic of Korea. It was an insightful, rewarding, and holistic programme that has added immense value to my current and future endeavours in the nuclear field.””

“"I come back from this experience full of new knowledge, including a complete view of what is needed in a country to achieve an ideal nuclear framework, and with the most important treasure, a network of women we have created between the 12 participants and our mentors from the visit. During the mentoring sessions, I learned invaluable information and recommendations to put into practice to continuously develop and reach my highest potential. I can honestly say that after these two weeks, I feel stronger and more confident."”

““I truly had an amazing experience during the two-week Lise Meitner Programme professional visit. As a nuclear engineer, it was a great opportunity to visit various nuclear facilities and industries. Additionally, learning about nuclear safety using computer simulators was new to me, as my research area has been quite limited to the back-end fuel cycle."”

““The Lise Meitner Programme in Argentina was an incredible journey through my own country’s nuclear programme. This experience allowed me to broaden my perspective, expand my strategic vision, and gain truly invaluable tools. I had the opportunity to learn from outstanding professionals and mentors. What I value most is having been able to meet and connect with women colleagues from all over the world, work side by side, and learn from everyone’s experiences, values, and approaches to face challenges differently.””

“"The IAEA Lise Meitner Programme provided a unique opportunity to explore the internal structure of a research reactor, as well as personally observe the regulation of a nuclear reaction and visit an operating nuclear power plant. This experience not only expanded my technical knowledge, but also strengthened my confidence in my abilities, and became motivation for further professional development and growth in the field of project management."”

““The Lise Meitner Programme was a valuable professional experience that allowed me to deepen my understanding of nuclear technologies through hands-on, practice-oriented training. The programme provided a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge with international experts and peers, strengthening both my technical competencies and professional network. Participation in the LMP has significantly contributed to my professional growth and motivation to further develop in the field of nuclear science and engineering.””

““The IAEA Lise Meitner Programme in Canada offered a well-structured blend of expert-led lectures, hands-on activities, facility visits, personal development sessions, and networking events. Beyond the technical insights I gained, I deeply value the incredible connections I made with inspiring women nuclear professionals from across the globe. I return from this experience with greater clarity on the direction I want my career to take. More importantly, as an individual and a woman in the nuclear industry I feel stronger, supported, confident, and inspired to dream bigger.””
