Promising Areas of Cooperation in Nuclear Technologies Discussed at EEF 2025 in Minsk

On June 26 in Minsk the 4th Eurasian Economic Forum hosted a round table "Development of Nuclear Technologies within the Main Directions of Industrial Cooperation in the EAEU until 2030: Prospects for Cooperative Interaction of the EAEU Member States". It was attended by Gohar Barseghyan, Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

The event invited interest from the heads of government agencies and organizations, and representatives of academic circles responsible for developing nuclear technologies in the Eurasian Economic Union countries and Uzbekistan.

The EEC Minister encouraged an active use of the Commission's existing instruments for promoting industrial cooperation, such as Eurasian technology platforms and the mechanism of financial support for industrial cooperation.

"The creation of the Eurasian technology platform in the field of nuclear and radiation engineering will serve as an additional incentive to develop cooperation between key organizations of the industry and will allow converging the interests of government agencies, business and science within the Union," Gohar Barseghyan noted.

The round table participants talked about the main competencies and achievements of the Union countries and the EAEU Observer State Uzbekistan in the field of nuclear medicine, as well as about the development of nuclear technologies in industry. A wide range of issues was touched upon: from the innovative production of radiopharmaceuticals to the implementation of several joint initiatives in the nuclear field, including the Russian-Kyrgyz project to establish a nuclear medicine center in Kyrgyzstan.

State Corporation Rosatom presented a project to build a multipurpose research reactor MBIR, which is important for the development of scientific cooperation between the Union states.

The event participants expressed their intention to raise the level of economic and research and technology dialogue at the supranational level, to implement applied joint projects in the field of nuclear technologies and to exchange innovative developments: from medicine to equipment for NPPs.
