Transdisciplinarity

Understanding the benefits and risks of radioactivity requires technical insight and training, but also notice of the context and a sense for the social and philosophical aspects of the situation.

In coordination with the academic sector, the research of the SCK•CEN Academy concentrates on how to integrate this transdisciplinary approach in education and training programmes for as well professionals as students and pupils.

Specific training modules are also organised that cover this aspect, i.e. "exploring the science, ethics and politics of nuclear technology assessment".
