In order to produce the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for the deployment of a Co-Funded European Partnership (CEP) on nuclear materials, the ORIENT NM team seeks also to establish a dialogue with the crucial Member States (MS) representatives.

The relevant MS representatives have been invited to attend this first informal preparatory meeting in order to gather their inputs, feedback, advice, and suggestions and gain their first informal endorsement for the ORIENT-NM project strategy.

Throughout the project's life, and in addition to this preparatory session, two formal workshops with Member States representatives are envisaged to inform and engage the community, present key findings, and gather intelligence and feedback from stakeholders.
