Project summary
The aim of this project is to better integrate European education and training in nuclear engineering and safety to combat the decline in both student numbers and teaching establishments, thus providing the necessary competence and expertise for the continued safe use of nuclear energy and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine. The project focuses on a harmonised approach for education and training in nuclear engineering in Europe and its implementation, including the better integration of national (governmental as well as industrial) resources and capabilities.
The expected result is an operational network for training and life-long learning schemes as well as on academic education at the master, doctoral and post-doctoral level, underpinning:
- Sustainability of Europe's excellence in nuclear technology, thereby contributing to the creation of a European Nuclear Knowledge Management Strategy
- Preservation of competence and expertise for the continued safe use of nuclear energy and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine
- Harmonised approaches to safety and best practices, both operational and regulatory, at European level within and across all Member States
- Harmonised approach for training and education in nuclear engineering.
In the network
- We implement the roadmap for nuclear education in Europe as developed and demonstrated in the Euratom FP5 project ENEN.
- We warrant the end-user relevance of the education at all levels by recruiting (part-time) professors out of industry and by providing (re-)training of nuclear industry personnel
- We teach advanced courses preferably at selected centres of excellence
- Bridging leading edge research and new knowledge generation with teaching and education
- Creating nuclei of excellence for doctoral schools in nuclear engineering and sciences
- We facilitate transnational access to research infrastructure, owned by governmental as well as industrial organisations.
