The Global Energy Transition (GET) Conference is the leading platform for geoscience and engineering solutions shaping a sustainable energy future. While the spotlight is on renewables such as solar, wind, hydrogen, and geothermal energy, one crucial topic must not be overlooked: the safe management of radioactive waste. Just as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) addresses the legacy of fossil fuels, responsible radioactive waste disposal addresses the remnants of nuclear power production. As a long-term environmental protection measure, it is essential for a successful energy transition. The newly established EAGE Technical Community on Radioactive Waste Disposal brings this topic to the forefront at GET. We connect experts across geoscience, engineering, and industry, creating opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and business development. Across Europe and beyond, the field is rapidly evolving: Finland is close to starting disposal operations, while countries like Sweden, France, and Switzerland are progressing through licensing, and others—including Germany—are advancing site selection. This diversity creates demand for expertise in modeling, mining, and geophysics. Join us at GET to explore opportunities, expand your network, and contribute to a responsible and forward-looking energy transition.
