Consolidation of European nuclear education, training and knowledge management.

The Coordination Action consolidates and expands the achievements of the ENEN, EURAC and the NEPTUNO projects attained by the European Nuclear Education Network Association in respectively the 5th and 6th framework programme. The project activities will b e mainly structured around the five committees of the ENEN Association in close collaboration with selected consortium partners. The Training and Academic Affairs Committee and the Advanced Courses and Research Committee develop and implement non-overlapp ing schemes covering one full academic year (60 ECTS) of courses in nuclear disciplines leading to Master degrees. The latter Committee also promotes interactions between research conducted at European universities and nuclear research centres, and end us ers such as utilities, power plants, regulatory bodies, industries, etc. It organises exchanges and meetings between doctoral and postdoctoral students in the framework of seminars, workshops and courses on topics at the edge of current scientific researc h. The Training and Industrial Projects Committee facilitates interactions between training organisations and professionals in nuclear industries to provide pertinent and harmonised training programmes for continual training on new topics as well as to re fresh and update capabilities and qualifications. The Knowledge Management Committee operates the ENEN web site, advertises courses and events of interest, develops and disseminates E-learning tools, courses and training packages on a variety of media, ma intains data banks and communication systems. The quality of the ENEN products and the project deliverables, the reports, courses, training packages, certificates, and the reliability of the information is continuously monitored by the ENEN Quality Assur ance Committee.
