Deadline: 23-Jan-22
Nominations are now open for the Women in Nuclear Global (WiN) Excellence Award to honour an individual working in nuclear communications, education, mentoring, gender equity and leadership programmes in local, national and international forums with audiences ranging from teachers and students to local government officials to national news media.c
In late 1992, just before the first Constitutional Meeting of WiN Global in Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic, the newly established WiN Global Leading Group first time mentioned the WiN Global Award as a part of the future WiN’s annual work programs. In 1995, the Board established rules for a WiN Global Annual Award to honour nuclear communications programs in local, national and international forums with audiences ranging from teachers and students to local government officials to national news media.
As more WiN Awards have been added to their growing organisation, this award was renamed in 2021 to help differentiate it from the other awards. From 2021 it will be known as the “WiN Global Excellence Award”.
