In January 2023, The Tokyo Institute of Technology hosted the Nuclear Innovator Cultivation Camp (NICC), a MEXT human resource development program in the nuclear field to improve educational activities in Japanese universities. The purpose of this camp was to cultivate entrepreneurship among US and Japanese university students, which supports creativity and innovation in the nuclear industry. The NICC was modeled after the Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp (NIB), another program that seeks to train students and early career professionals in the skills essential to innovation in nuclear energy. This presentation will discuss the NICC program experience and outcomes, as well as the impact of the program on the speaker by relating previous experiences within the Japanese nuclear industry.
