<strong>ENEN</strong>-II<br />
<strong>ENEN</strong> <strong>Association</strong> for Nuclear Engineering, Radiation Protection, Geological Disposal and<br />
Underground Storage <strong>of</strong> Radioactive Waste and Analytical Radiochemistry. The mutual<br />
recognition <strong>of</strong> the education schemes will be tested in practice in collaboration with the<br />
accreditation authorities. The <strong>Work</strong> package also includes the elaboration <strong>of</strong> proposals for<br />
Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Protection under Erasmus Mundus. The <strong>Work</strong> Package<br />
aims further at the development and establishment <strong>of</strong> procedures and structures for the joint<br />
organisation <strong>of</strong> advanced courses on current nuclear topics by <strong>ENEN</strong> members. Two joint<br />
courses will be organised accrding to this scheme. Academic curricula and advanced courses<br />
will be subject to evaluations on pre-established quality assurance criteria, including feedback<br />
from participants and end-users.<br />
7.1.3 Facilitating and Supporting Research<br />
The third <strong>Work</strong> Package addresses the facilitation and support <strong>of</strong> nuclear research by<br />
collecting and updating information from end users, industries, research centres and<br />
regulatory bodies, to feed internships, master theses and post-doctoral work with relevant<br />
topics for applied research, thereby strengthening the interactions between academia and the<br />
end users and creating added value. Explore and develop financing schemes for student<br />
mobility using EU and <strong>ENEN</strong> resources. For doctoral students, the structures and procedures<br />
for an annual “<strong>ENEN</strong> event” will be established, where the candidate nuclear PhDs can<br />
present their research work. One pilot edition <strong>of</strong> the event will be organised to test the concept<br />
and the response. This <strong>Work</strong> Package further includes the development and implementation <strong>of</strong><br />
a “Think Tank” functionality within <strong>ENEN</strong> with two demonstrations on actual topics.<br />
7.1.4 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Training Programmes<br />
The fourth <strong>Work</strong>ing Package addresses current education and training programmes outside<br />
universities in order to produce a documented survey and evaluation <strong>of</strong> such programmes to<br />
be compared to the end users needs. In this <strong>Work</strong>ing Package the possible gaps, needs and<br />
opportunities are identified in order to organise pr<strong>of</strong>essional training courses in complement<br />
to existing programmes. In addition to the proven self-supporting courses developed during<br />
the NEPTUNO project, three pilot courses will be organised on respectively “Neutronics <strong>of</strong><br />
LWR”, “Management <strong>of</strong> Radioactive Waste” and “Decommissioning”.<br />
7.1.5 Nuclear Knowledge Management<br />
The fifth <strong>Work</strong>ing Package groups the tasks related to the collection, organisation,<br />
preservation and dissemination <strong>of</strong> nuclear knowledge. The current web sites operated on<br />
different places and servers will be integrated and maintained into a single site derived from<br />
the NEPTUNO Communication System. The site will adopt the role-based approach <strong>of</strong> the<br />
NEPTUNO CS and include its databases. It will form Electronic Library Systems with<br />
integrated databases (ODIN, GRS, etc.) with single entry points and mutual recognition <strong>of</strong><br />
authentication information. The web-based communication system will also maintain<br />
dynamic updatable databases on nuclear education and training courses, advanced courses and<br />
themes for internships, master theses, PhDs and post-doctoral work, with search capabilities.<br />
Contact points will be established in every country covered by the <strong>ENEN</strong> <strong>Association</strong>, which<br />
will be responsible for collecting, maintaining and upgrading the respective databases. Within<br />
this <strong>Work</strong> Package two E-learning modules, one textbook and two multimedia presentations<br />
will be produced respectively for pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, students and the general public.<br />
