COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING REQUESTED INFORMATION TO PARTICIPATE IN SEGMENT 3 OF THE SCHOOL
Registered participants in the School commit to provide to the Secretariat with advance reference information (a self-assessment questionnaire) regarding the status of their national governmental, legal and regulatory framework and plans to complete such framework. This advance information is necessary for IAEA staff and experts to acquire current information and good understanding of the national context to mentor participants effectively along the process, especially during the presential workshop of the School (segment 3).
From time to time the IAEA organizes a School within the framework of one of its technical assistance projects. Interested countries participating in the project are eligible to submit candidate nominations through official channels. Once the Secretariat has reviewed the nominations and selected the candidates, School participants from the same country are expected to work together to complete and send to the Secretariat the questionnaire.
Normally, the School organizers will submit the self-assessment questionnaire to the country's contact person as part of the formalities to call for candidate nominations to participate in the presential workshop of the School. The questionnaire is sent well in advance for the national authorities to have a better understanding about the School approach to make a well-informed decision about the candidates propose to participate in the presential workshop.
The self-assessment questionnaire for the Waste Safety School is to be published here soon, and will address the following:
Part I: Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework:
- Authorities and processes
- Legal framework
