DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nIncreased electricity demand\, electrification\, decarbon
 ization\, and resilience goals for 2030–2050 require firm\, low‑carbon
  power and high‑temperature heat that complement renewables and modern g
 rids. Nuclear technologies\, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and M
 icroreactors (MMRs)\, to fusion R&amp;D and advanced fuel cycles\, are re‑em
 erging as practical tools for clean electricity\, process heat\, desalinat
 ion\, hydrogen production and energy storage. In parallel\, nuclear‑enab
 led technologies continue to transform medicine\, sensing\, and materials 
 science.\n\nIEEE SusTech “Inter-Society\, Engagement &amp; Collaboration Com
 mittee” is developing a multi‑society project to evaluate possible col
 laborations with university campuses hosting MMRs. https://sustech.ieee.or
 g/iec-committee/\n\nThe IEEE Future Directions Second Webinar Series on Nu
 clear Energy is proposing cutting edge presentations throughout 2026 with 
 unprecedented attendance. https://futuredirections.ieee.org/ieee-second-pr
 esentation-series-on-nuclear-energy/\n\nBuilding on this momentum\, The Nu
 clear Energy and Applications In-Person Workshop aims to bring together co
 mmunities that do not often engage directly with one another\, including I
 EEE NPSS\, IEEE PES and Smart Grid\, IEEE Standards\, reliability engineer
 s\, control and power electronics specialists\, the IEEE Computer Society\
 , and experts in social\, ethical\, and policy aspects of technology. The 
 workshop will also welcome external partners such as the American Nuclear 
 Society (ANS)\, the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS)\, and the International
  Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE NPSS\, IEEE SusTech
