IAEA Advanced Nuclear Knowledge
Management School (in development)
• Advanced NKM School for practitioners
(First edition, 3Q 2017, for NPP personnel)
Advanced NKM School curriculum to focus on:
� International standards/guides related to KM (e.g. IAEA,
WANO)
� Best KM practices applied in NPP organisations
� Elements of holistic approach and cross-cutting nature
of KM
� Role of leadership principles in KM
� Importance of Organisational Culture including concept
of continuous learning organization, and Safety culture
� Relationship between KM and business objectives (e.g.
safety, security. Efficiency, etc.)
� Stakeholder involvement and KM (e.g. DKM and
preparation for LTO)
IAEA Cyber-Learning Platform for Network
Education and Training (CLP4NET)
1. Making high-quality eLearning resources
available for education and training
2. Providing an effective online learning
management system with “open” and
“registered member only” environments
� facilitating access to educational resources and
teaching experience
� enabling a convenient, user friendly and flexible
e-learning environment
� Supporting blended learning approaches that
young professionals expect today
� Enabling networking and resource sharing

Regional Nuclear Education
Networks
IAEA Facilitated Regional and Inter-
Regional Networking in Nuclear
Education:
� cooperation on educational experience and
resources
� establishment of a forum to discuss policies
and strategies for nuclear education and
training
� sharing best practices and lessons learned
� Linking IAEA-initiated and sponsored
networks in developing countries with
existing networks in developed countries

“Stakeholder” Networking for Human
Resource and Knowledge Development
• Focused on sustainable education in developing
countries
• IAEA facilitates the formation and strengthening of
national stakeholder networks
• Leverage existing regional nuclear education networks
• Objective is to work together to achieve strategic goals

IAEA-facilitated National “Education Capability
Assessment and Planning” (ECAP) Process
• National stakeholder engagement process
• Establish understanding of issues and needs
• Common vision of opportunities, direction and strategic
goals
• Development of national strategic plan
• Mobilize resources and engaged stakeholders to
implement
• Follow-up with measures and progress review

NKM Technical Community of Practice
(T-CoP) Initiative
Fostering international/regional cooperation in NKM T-CoP:
�Establishing strong regional and interregional cooperation thorough technical communities of
practice (KM-TCoP), networks and PA cooperation to share good practices and lessons learned in
nuclear science and technology.
�KM TCoP is regular forum for KM practitioners, facilitated by the IAEA and moderated by KM
practitioners, who are jointly developing essential KM tools and approaches in respective topics
NKM T-CoP can support key strategic objectives:�Providing greater visibility and access to key domain experts in order to address short and long
term technical and business issues.
�Development, across geographically distributed networks, of groups for the purpose of enhanced
knowledge sharing and collaboration.
�Supporting professional career development, education, training and mentoring programmes
�Providing a mechanism for long term knowledge retention and transfer.
�Supporting the development and use of KM methods, techniques, and technologies.
• An IAEA-facilitated framework whereby universities collaborate to implement master’s level programmes in “nuclear technology management” (an industry focused programme)
• Students in the programme are managers or future managers working in the nuclear sector
• Initiative launched in Nov 2013. First programmes started: Manchester in 2014, MEPhIin 2016. Now ~20 universities at various stages.
Objectives of INMA NTM Master’s programmes:• Avoid serious gaps in nuclear managerial competencies
• Strengthen depth and breadth of managerial competencies
• Ensure high quality management education for nuclear managers available & accessible (e.g. part-time, distance learning, short courses)
• Reduced time-lines to “managerial competency”
• Strengthen managerial decision-making (safety and economics)
International Nuclear
Management Academy
The Third International Conference on Nuclear Knowledge
Management - Challenges and Approaches (7-11 November, Vienna)
19
Highlights from the 3rd NKM Conference
• More than 450 attendants from 61 Member States and
10 organizations, representing • a two-fold increase over the last NKM conference
• a very broad audience, in terms of countries and organizations involved,
including in-house
• Substantial involvement of exhibitors and sponsors (25
in total)
20
Highlights from the 3rd NKM Conference
• IAEA DG opened the conference
• Several high-profile guests and dignitaries took part to
the event including:
• over 40 distinguished guests and invited speakers
• A broad range of themes was covered through topical
and technical sessions, including: • 10 plenary and ~20 parallel sessions, including 4 panel discussions
21
Thematic Tracks
Track 1- Strategic and cross-cutting KM issues in organizations
Track 2 - Managing knowledge for new build projects and programmes in
newcomer and expanding countries
Track 3 - Managing knowledge for operating nuclear facilities
Track 4 - Managing knowledge for decommissioning, environmental remediation
and waste management projects
Track 5 - KM for nuclear regulatory compliance
Track 6 - KM for non-power nuclear science and applications
Track 7 - KM in nuclear technology research, development and innovation
Track 8 - Issues and approaches for information and records management
22
Highlights from the 3rd NKM Conference
• KM should be core to every type of nuclear programme, and an
essential part of the nuclear safety approach and safety culture
• KM plays a central role in the economic objectives of nuclear, its
reliability and sustainability, and chiefly, the overarching
objective of nuclear safety
• NKM has evolved, vis-a-vis its implementation and
understanding at the time of the last IAEA Int’l Conference on
NKM• KM has been successfully adopted by various organizations involved in different
stages of nuclear programmes: particularly, in the nuclear power sector, by owner-
operators, regulators and private companies
• in certain fields and at certain levels its application still lags somewhat behind (e.g.
for non-power applications, in research and academic institutions, and at the level
of national coordination)
23
Highlights from the 3rd NKM Conference
• KM needed to address long-standing challenges, such as the
inter-generational knowledge transfer, but to assure a sustained
workforce, more aspects are emerging, such as awareness that:• nuclear knowledge should be managed more pro-actively throughout the full life-
cycle
• management of knowledge must be pursued across organizational borders and
barriers
• KM should be a part of the integrated management system
• networking and communities of practice have proven to be effective mechanisms
and must be promoted
