Upon request, the European Nuclear Society will prepare a visa invitation letter for delegates whose registration fees were received in full. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to give any further support to the visa application process. Obtaining a visa remains the sole responsibility of the participant.

In 2025 the Research Reactor Conference (RRFM) Programme Committee will again organize a Student Competition.
Participating PhD and Master Students will be invited to present a compelling spoken presentation of their research topic to the international Research Reactor Community during the Opening Plenary Session of the Research Reactor Conference (RRFM) 2025.
Inspired by existing Three-Minute Thesis competitions, the presentation should compress the research topic into 180 seconds and communicate it to the international Research Reactor Community. The presentation can be accompanied with a maximum of three power point slides, but this is not compulsory.
This presentation should be complemented by a poster presentation which will be on display for the entire duration of the conference, and which should be discussed with the audience during a dedicated Poster Session. The aim should therefore be to make the research topic clear and compelling and encourage the audience to continue the discussion during the Poster Session.
All students of subjects of relevance for the Research Reactor Community and who are working on research topics defined in the Call for Papers for the Research Reactor Conference (RRFM) 2025 are invited to apply for participation in the competition.
Interested students should submit their abstract text (approx. 400 words) in English through the RRFM 2025 Abstract Submission System by 31 January 2025 under the category ‘Student Competition’.
The Programme Committee of the Research Reactor Conference (RRFM) will select up to 10 researchers who will be given the opportunity to present their work to the international Research Reactor Community.
Participating students will follow the instructions for poster presentations and will prepare for their Three-Minute presentation in the Opening Plenary Session.
RRFM delegates will get to vote for their favourite student presentation and award the ‘Audience Prize of the Research Reactor Conference (RRFM)’.
The quality of the research presented as well as the accuracy and clarity of the presentation will be the selection criteria at stake.
Participating students will benefit from a reduced registration fee of 150€ (excl. VAT).
Note: The European Nuclear Society as the organizer of RRFM 2025 is currently looking into the possibility for obtaining a travel grant for participating students. If this materializes it will be confirmed at a later stage.
