The University and the company have been meeting regularly for some time now so that the company can better understand the skills and expertise offered by the University and the University can, in turn, gain a better appreciation of the company鈥檚 potential future needs for both research support and also well qualified graduates in various disciplines in future years.

Discussions have now led to the signing of Horizon Nuclear Power鈥檚 first Memorandum of Understanding with a Welsh University to work together in respect of their Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station new-build proposal in North Wales.

The memorandum will enable both parties to work more closely and more openly to explore opportunities and agree activities relating to:

-          Student employability and work placements within Horizon as well as activities related to longer-term graduate employment in North Wales.

-          Collaboration and support for research in relevant areas undertaken by the University, including potential collaboration in the provision of research facilities.

-          Collaboration in education engagement activities, linked in particular to promotion and awareness of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects.
