Founded in 2003, ETSON´s Junior Staff Programme (JSP) brings together young experts from all ETSON members. The programme aims to support these experts both in establishing personal networks on an international level as well as improving their professional skills. The exchange on technical knowledge and respective practises and experiences among ETSON´s member organisations also contributes to ETSON´s overarching goal of promoting best practises in nuclear safety.

For more than a decade, the JSP Summer Workshop is the programme´s main annual event. Organised by JSP members, these workshops consist of presentations given by participants, interactive group work and moderated workshops on a specific topic. The topics covered in recent years range from basic aspects such as uncertainty and sensitivity in safety analysis and material properties aspects in nuclear safety to accident management and radioactive waste management, environmental protection and decommissioning. 

The next ETSON Junior Staff Programme Workshop 2025 will be hosted by the slovakian TSO VUJE.

The JSP also organises the competition for the annual ETSON Award as part of the EUROSAFE conference.
