National Network Start-up Grant

IYNC contribution – up to $3,000

This type of grant supports national network creation initiatives from YG representatives of a country without an active nuclear YG Network (start a new YGN or re-active a “dormient” YGN). Short market research report and business plan for network creation are needed to support the project proposal. Guidelines on preparing a business plan and short market research are available for download.

A project proposal should envisage partnering with one or more existing successful YG networks from other countries to provide mentoring to the start-up. This is to ensure that an advice on the best practices and lessons learned is available to the group creating a new network. At least 80% of the grant should be spent in the country where the new network is being created. Up to 20% can be spent on the partnering network.

Support of the national Nuclear Society or/and other nuclear organizations and/or individual prominent figures in the national nuclear industry is required for this type of the projects, to be highlighted by providing supporting recommendation letters.
