Preservation and development of nuclear knowledge involves both educational and training processes in order to plan its succession and expanding current experience in the field of nuclear science and technology.

On March 23, 2016 the Nuclear Knowledge Management Institute (NKMI) and National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI” have signed an agreement on cooperation to support and develop knowledge management in the nuclear field. The agreement was signed by the rector of MEPhI Mikhail Stakhanov and Managing Director of NKMI, Prof. Dr. Yanko Yanev.

The signed document is based on strengthening the relationship between MEPhI and NKMI for the purpose of implementation of joint projects. According to it, the parties intend to create an International nuclear business school for already formed managers and to develop programs for master degree students on management of nuclear projects and leadership. Also they plan to carry out international research projects in the field of nuclear education, public acceptance and nuclear knowledge management, including development of innovative and modern technologies.

Nuclear Knowledge Management Institute is a well–known non-profit organization that provides research projects and training of specialists in nuclear knowledge management and leadership in the nuclear industry. For several years MEPhI actively cooperates with NKMI, and the signed document has become a follow-up to scientific and educational partnership between these universities.
