VIII SENCIR – National & International Week of Nuclear and Energy Engineering and Radiation Sciences

November 9th to 13th, 2026 – Belo Horizonte, BRAZIL

The National & International Week of Nuclear and Energy Engineering and Radiation Sciences, SENCIR, is a biennial congress and focuses on disseminating scientific and academic activities in areas involving nuclear engineering, energy engineering and radiation sciences, in addition to disseminate technological and scientific advances and information about the job market in these fields. The last two SENCIR editions featured national and international speakers. Therefore, the eighth edition is being prepared to officially become a national and international event, given the scale and success achieved. The VIII SENCIR is being organized by the Department of Nuclear Engineering of the School of Engineering of the Federal University of Minas Gerais with the collaboration and support of institutions in the country and other countries. Traditionally, complete papers are published in the conference proceedings and are presented in poster sessions and oral sessions. Activities include lectures by experts, mini-courses, round tables, stands with demonstrations of studies and equipment, presentations of research work, workshops and technical visits. The eighth edition of the event is scheduled to take place in the week of November 9th to 13th, 2026 in an in-person format. The experience acquired over the years is responsible for the success of this congress in each edition, being the second largest event in the area in the country. The internationalization of the event will be an opportunity to expand collaborations and opportunities for joint projects and studies between experts from Brazil and the rest of the world in the nuclear sector.
