The aim of the Nurecab project (“EU-UA Nuclear Research and Education Capacity Building”) is to implement measures to support nuclear education in Ukraine and integrate the Ukrainian scientific community into the Euratom Research and Training Programme.

The Ukrainian Nuclear Society has become one of the partners of the consortium responsible for the project, which was launched under the Euratom Work Programme for 2023–2025.
