The opening ceremony of World Atomic Week Forum 2025 was held at the VDNKh centre in Moscow, Russia, on 25 September, and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation A V Novak and officials made opening speeches.
The experts, media representatives, and officials from over 100 countries attended the forum and discussed the potential future impacts of nuclear energy, scientific and technological energy sectors, environmental conservation, and healthcare. The forum included roundtable discussions, signing ceremonies for memorandums of understanding, and exhibitions, allowing attendees to explore and learn about energy production and related topics.
At the forum, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Russia’s ROSATOM Technical Academy and Yangon Technological University of Myanmar. According to the agreement, the two countries will enhance cooperation in nuclear science, technology, research, and human resource development. This includes exchanging curricula and participating in international projects to implement joint initiatives.
Regarding these issues, Dr Soe Lin Aung, an official from Naypyidaw State Polytechnic University, said: —
Today, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Yangon Technological University of Myanmar and Russia’s ROSATOM Technical Academy. After signing such an MoU between the Yangon Technological University and the ROSATOM Technical Academy, the first steps will include student exchanges, teacher exchanges related to education, collaborative research activities, and initiatives for cultural exchange.
Currently, there are already students from Myanmar studying at Russian universities with the support of ROSATOM. Russia is a global pioneer in nuclear energy. The chances for our students and teachers to learn at these universities provide great opportunities for our country’s HR sector, research sector, and successful projects related to nuclear energy.
The rector of Rosatom Technical Academy said Myanmar students studying at universities in Russia have to simultaneously implement their own nuclear education programmes in Myanmar to develop nuclear education.
The World Atomic Week Forum 2025 will take place from 25 to 28 September.
