Rabat, April 25, 2025

As part of its strategic foresight mission, the Royal Institute for Strategic Studies (IRES) organized a two-day meeting on April 24-25, 2025, to discuss the future of nuclear energy both globally and within Morocco.

The event brought together a high-level panel of experts, including representatives from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), international nuclear organizations, global consultancy firms specializing in nuclear energy, Moroccan government ministries, and national institutions involved in nuclear development. Experts in nuclear power, nuclear security, and safety from Morocco and abroad also participated.

The event provided a platform to assess the latest technological advancements in the field of civilian nuclear energy worldwide. Participants explored potential synergies between nuclear energy and green hydrogen production, evaluated Morocco’s current capabilities in nuclear applications, and discussed the key regulatory, technical, financial, and human resource challenges facing the sector.

The insightful discussions led to the development of innovative strategic directions, which were consolidated into a roadmap aimed at establishing a sustainable civilian nuclear sector in Morocco. This roadmap is designed to support the country’s energy transition and the decarbonization of its economy over the medium and long term.
