If your Institute is a recipient of an IAEA's funded Technical Cooperation (TC) project, you can request fellowship training as part of that project. Such training request will have to be approved by your Institute and the application will have to be submitted to your National Atomic Energy Authority for forwarding to the IAEA. If the Institute where you are working does not have a TC project, you may like to request fellowship training under IAEA project of "manpower development". Again the request will have to be forwarded through the National Atomic Energy Authority.
