IAEA’s First International Conference on Nuclear Law: The Global Debate (ICNL 2022) will be held at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria from 7 to 11 February 2022.

The Conference will provide a unique global forum for representatives from governments, international and non-governmental organizations, the industry, the legal and insurance sectors, academia, and civil society to discuss current nuclear law issues. The conference will consist of topical sessions and high-level roundtable and panel discussions on cross-cutting issues. It will cover the four branches of international and national nuclear law – safety, security, safeguards and civil liability for nuclear damage – as well as the interaction of nuclear law with other fields of  law.  For the full list of topics and submission guidelines, see the Announcement and Call for Papers (attached for your convenience).
