In a bid to inspire the next generation of African innovators, Rosatom has unveiled the 8th edition of its annual online video competition, ‘Atoms Empowering Africa.’ Aimed at fostering awareness and understanding of nuclear technologies, the competition invites African youth to explore the potential of nuclear energy in shaping the continent’s sustainable future.
Open to students, young professionals and professors aged 18-35, the competition challenges participants to create compelling videos that demonstrate how nuclear energy can drive Africa’s development, bridging its historical roots with present-day advancements and future possibilities.
The competition offers an exciting opportunity for young Namibian filmmakers to showcase their talents, with the grand prize being an all-expenses-paid trip to Russia.
