The IAEA facilitated International Nuclear Management Academy (INMA) scheme supports universities to establish and deliver master’s degree programmes in nuclear technology management (NTM) for the nuclear sector, including nuclear power programmes, nuclear applications, and radiological technologies. The programmes are a combination of advanced aspects of management and leadership coupled with nuclear technologies, providing high level education and support for the nuclear industry leaders of the future.
INMA membership provides a basis for participating universities to collaborate and to provide sustainable nuclear technology management programmes, that reflect the industry’s best practices and accumulated knowledge. It also provides a platform to promote collaboration and the sharing of educational resources, materials and tools. Under the INMA initiative universities actively contribute to the development of INMA and incorporate the INMA curriculum topics and criteria into their programmes.
The IAEA supports INMA with peer review missions to benchmark the curriculum of NTM master’s programmes against the 50 defined INMA nuclear technology management curriculum topics. The result of a successful peer review mission is INMA endorsement of the NTM master's programmes and INMA membership for the university.
