Hungary received the IAEA's Board of Governors membership

The Board of Governors is one of the two policy-making bodies of the IAEA, along with the annual General Conference of IAEA Member States.

The Board examines and makes recommendations to the General Conference on the IAEA's financial statements, programme and budget. It considers applications for membership, approves safeguards agreements and the publication of the IAEA's safety standards. It also appoints the Director General of the IAEA, with the approval of the General Conference.

The Board generally meets five times a year: in March and June, twice in September (before and after the General Conference) and in November.

Hungary has been a member of the Board of Governors for two years. For more information on the Board and its tasks please click here.
