The 7th “Atoms Empowering Africa” online video competition launched by Rosatom

 

ROSATOM, the Russian state corporation specializing in nuclear energy, is pleased to announce the launch of the seventh annual online video competition, “Atoms Empowering Africa”. 

This competition, open to students and young professionals aged between 18 and 35, aims to ignite interest in science and technology among African youth.

Atoms Empowering Africa invites participants to create a short video on the "Benefits of Nuclear Energy in Africa" topic. The jury of representatives from wide range of respected field organizations, such as AFCONE, Ethiopian Nuclear Expert Group, WIN Africa and others, will select three winning teams. 

These teams will be rewarded with a fully paid trip to Russia to experience world-renowned tourist attractions. The trip also includes visiting nuclear facilities where they explore new technologies and learn more about their benefits for humanity and improving the quality of people’s lives. Some other participants will be rewarded with special prizes for their outstanding work.



“Nuclear energy holds immense potential for Africa, offering numerous benefits for the continent's sustainable development. By embracing nuclear technology, African countries can foster economic growth, create job opportunities, and drive innovation in various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, and industry. The Atoms Empowering Africa competition serves as a platform to raise awareness about these benefits and inspire the next generation of African scientists and engineers to explore the potential of nuclear energy”, said Ryan Collyer, Chief Executive Officer of Rosatom Central and Southern Africa.

The competition was first initiated in 2015, and since then, more than 60 winners have received prizes, one-third of whom visited Russian nuclear facilities in Moscow, Sosnovy Bor, Obninsk, Tomsk, Novovoronezh, and others.
