Général

Research is becoming ever more collaborative and inclusive. This workshop matches you with scientists from different disciplines with the purpose of sharing insights on, and approaches to, research involving nuclear topics.

Connect and integrate different perspectives and forms of knowledge, stimulate your critical thinking and explore new ways to develop collaborative projects!

During two days, participants will:

  • Debate about the opportunities and challenges of working across disciplines and with various stakeholders
  • Formulate a research problem in a transdisciplinary perspective
  • Identify stakeholders and their potential role in the research process
  • Explore ways to collaborate outside your own discipline
  • Practice how to present your research to a wider audience

Sujets

Participants will work in small groups on a selected topic of choice.

  • Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
  • Reuse of NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) residues resulting from industrial processes
  • Management of nuclear emergencies and post-accident recovery
  • Management of high level radioactive waste
  • Medical applications: mammography screening

More information about the topics will be provided prior to the workshop.

 

Groupe cible

This workshop brings together MSc students, PhD students and junior researchers from natural and social science disciplines with an interest in nuclear science.

Programme

The aim of the two-day workshop is to stimulate reflection on research topics and practices across disciplinary boundaries in ways that are often overlooked in the training of young researchers. The programme uses a highly interactive approach that stimulates both individual and mutual learning.

Thursday October 5, 2023
  • Scientific speed dating
  • Discussion and debate on transdisciplinarity
  • Social dinner in the evening
Friday October 6, 2023
  • Designing a transdisciplinary research project in teams
  • Peer evaluation and poster presentation

The full programme will be available soon.
