The Introductory Workshop for New National RCA Representatives on the RCA Programme and Its Policy was successfully held from 12 to 14 October in Seoul Republic of Korea, and virtually via videoconferencing. Approximately 30 participants attended the workshop, including National Representatives from 13 RCA Government Parties, the RCA Focal Person, and the Lead of the Technical Advisory Panel.

During the workshop, participants were introduced to the operational structures and policy procedures of the IAEA Technical Development and RCA frameworks, as well as the mechanisms for RCA Programme development and implementation. The workshop also provided an opportunity for participants to exchange views and experiences, discuss ways to enhance the effectiveness of the RCA Programme, and explore approaches to strengthening the visibility and impact of RCA activities.

Recognising the value of the workshop in enhancing the National RCA Representatives' understanding of the RCA framework and their roles and responsibilities, participants expressed their appreciation for the initiative and encouraged the RCA Regional Office to continue organising similar activities in the future.
