The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will host the International Conference on the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear and Radioactive Material from 23 to 27 March 2026 at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. The conference will bring together nearly 500 experts and decision makers to discuss developments, challenges and opportunities related to the safe and secure transport of nuclear and other radioactive material.
