International Research and Development Cooperation Programs SITON has active and fruitful international cooperation relations with foreign nuclear-related institutes and organizations. A significant feature of the international cooperation during last years was the technical – scientific activity realised through the Romanian participation in the EU 5th and 6th Framework Programmes (FP), PHARE projects and bilateral cooperation with EU institutes. It is worth mentioning the traditional cooperation of CITON with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through national and regional technical cooperation projects or through participation in coordinated research projects. An important element of international cooperation was the continuous participation of CITON experts in a series of IAEA Advisory Groups, Technical Committees and International Symposia and Conferences.
