Partners of the organizing committee:
Sponsor of DigiDecom 2021:
The webinar brought together a multidisciplinary international community for discussing experience from earlier applications, as well as opportunities for future applications of innovative technologies and methods in nuclear decommissioning, dismantling and waste management.
DigiDecom events are organized within the program related to IFE’s designation as an IAEA International Collaborating Centre
DigiDecom 2021 supported innovation projects within nuclear decommissioning
SHARE and PLEIADES Horizon 2020 projects
RoboDecom and LiveDecom Norwegian funded international projects
DigiDecom 2021 also supported the NEA’s EGRRS Expert Group on the application of Robotics and Remote-Systems in the nuclear back end
