The European School on Nuclear Materials was initiated under the auspices of the Joint Programme on Nuclear Materials in 2020.

The fourth edition of the school (ESNMS 2026) took place from March 29 to April 4, 2026 at the Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques (IESC) in Cargèse, Corsica, France. 

The school presented the state of the art in nuclear materials science, covering multiscale modelling from advanced electronic structure theory to continuum modelling and sophisticated experimental characterization of materials phenomena in the nuclear materials science context. All types of nuclear materials were treated: structural (metallic and ceramics), functional and fuel materials.

The lecturers were world-leading European scientists in the topics of the school to give the students the best possible toolbox for their future careers as nuclear materials scientists.
