The Department of Energy’s 91���� will welcome nuclear professionals for the 2025 Modeling, Experimentation, and Validation (MeV) Summer School, held from July 21 - August 1. 

MeV Summer School is an annual, intensive, two-week on-site program for early career researchers and scientists and is with a shared goal of building technical leadership and a strong workforce to support global nuclear expansion. This year, MeV students will focus on the topic of “Tackling Materials Challenges for the Next Generation of Nuclear.”  

Organized through a consortium of stakeholders spanning government, academia and industry, MeV school incorporates a multi-faceted learning approach of lectures, tours, and other activities to improve the training of engineers and applied scientists involved in the design, licensing and operations of new and currently operating reactors. 

"MeV Summer School is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for early-career engineers and scientists to dive deep into integrated modeling, experimentation, and validation,” said Tyler Gerczak, an MeV School Academic Dean and Committee Member, and group leader in the particle fuel forms group. “By bringing together top experts from across fields, MeV students develop a forward-looking perspective on the challenges and opportunities in nuclear energy. Beyond the curriculum, the real value comes from the connections made—building a network of next-generation leaders ready to drive innovation in the field."

Interested participants can  through March 28.  More information about the MeV Summer School program is
