The IAEA technical cooperation (TC) programme is the main mechanism through which the IAEA delivers services to its Member States. Through the programme, the IAEA helps Member States to build, strengthen and maintain capacities in the safe, peaceful and secure use of nuclear technology in support of sustainable socioeconomic development. TC projects provide expertise in fields where nuclear techniques offer advantages over other approaches, or where nuclear techniques can usefully supplement conventional means.
Under the supervision of the Programme Management Officer and the Technical Officer of TC projects, TC experts provide specialized on-the-job training, assist project counterparts in developing technical analyses and offer recommendations towards achieving TC project objectives. TC experts may also participate in training courses as lecturers that transfer technical knowledge and skills to training course participants, providing lectures, exercises etc.
