The WONP is among the key Cuban scientific meetings dealing with the peaceful applications of nuclear techniques in several domains of society. These Symposia provide an opportunity for the international scientific community to meet outstanding researchers and to discuss current trends and tasks in several areas of applied, nuclear-related fields.

The International WONP had been initiated in 1994, and since 2005 has a bi-annual frequency, so we are pleased to announce that this year we will celebrate - the 30th anniversary of this distinguished scientific conference. The 2024 WONP edition will be organized by the Instituto Superior de Ciencias y Tecnologías Aplicadas (InSTEC) in coordination with the Agencia de Energía Nuclear y Tecnologías de Avanzada (AENTA). After a few years, we will once again have the joy of having the San Gerónimo University College as our headquarters.

The conference will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of original work involving current problems in various fields of applied and fundamental research.

The XVII WONP program will consist of oral presentations and poster sessions (October 7-11, 2024). Also, a pre-conference school will be held days before the beginning of the meeting (October 4-5, 2024).
