The presentation of the book "The Economic History of Nuclear Energy in Spain, Governance, Business and Finance" (Palgrave-MacMillan, 2017) has led to a meeting in Madrid between academics, experts, policymakers, managers, operators, businessmen and regulators of the nuclear energy in Spain. The members of HoNEST Mar Rubio-Varas and Joseba De la Torre, professors of Economic History at the Public University of Navarra, have presented a synthetic balance on the institutional, economic, financial, commercial, technological and social singularities of that case and its insertion in the international context, between 1950 and 1985. In the subsequent debate, witnesses from that past and managers of the present participated: scientists from the Nuclear Energy Board, representatives of the Nuclear Safety Council, the Spanish Nuclear Society, the engineering and consulting firms, but also promoters of the nuclear power plants, in addition to the team of the Ministry of Industry and Energy that in 1984 negotiated the moratorium of the Spanish nuclear program.

The one-day event is held at the Deutsches Museum, Munich, on Thursday, 5 April 2018, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Registration: 9:30 a.m.
Deutsches Museum The workshop focuses on the relationship between nuclear energy and society in Central and Eastern Europe - from historical experience to present-day practice. Stakeholder engagement is an integrative part of the project.
The event will involve stakeholders from industry, associations, politics, research and civil society – of whom you might be one.
The stakeholder event will involve three components. First, we will discuss HoNESt's historical research on how nuclear energy and society have related to each other in the past. Second, HoNESt's social science team will discuss some of the mechanisms of successful stakeholder engagement. Finally, we would very much value your involvement in an activity where we will explore the future of societal engagement with nuclear power, and thus open new avenues of thinking.
Registration is open at Eventbrite.
