As any large international project MYRRHA is to be realized in an international frame therefore it is natural to find already in the present design and support R&D activities of MYRRHA a large international network of collaborations. These collaboration are based either on mutual interest without flow of money between the partners or on basis of shared cost or even on basis of contractual services.
The present list of partners in the MYRRHA project and their field of contribution or associated field of collaboration are given below:
