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. The 2022 WONP edition will be organized by the Instituto Superior de Ciencias y Tecnologías Avanzadas (InSTEC) in coordination with the Agencia de Energía Nuclear y Tecnologías de Avanzada (AENTA). 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 17-21, 2022). Also, a pre-conference school will be held days before the beginning of the meeting (October 14-15, 2022).
