Euratom 2005-6 – Fixed deadline Coordination Actions ENEN-II 9.2 Gender issues There are no particular gender issues associated to the ENEN-II project. The selection of the ENEN members and the partners of the consortium, is based on a set of criteria established by the ENEN Quality Assurance Committee. The criteria are not related to gender issues. The criteria are purely derived from the academic curricula, the qualifications of the university staff, the admission of the students and the relative importance of research work in nuclear disciplines. All ENEN members have non-discriminatory policies with respect to the recruitment of staff and admission of students and several ENEN Members have gender action plans to promote gender equality. Historically education and training in nuclear disciplines have been mainly attracting and attended by male students, resulting in a majority of male staff in institutes, organisations and industries related to nuclear applications. This situation is slowly but definitely changing, as it has been observed in the participation of young female professionals and students to the pilot courses organised in the framework of the ENEN and NEPTUNO projects. The ENEN-II project will further advertise, promote and encourage the participation of female students and female young professionals to the different activities, such as pilot training courses, advanced courses, access to databases, mobility schemes, etc. This promotion and encouragement, however, will maintain a strictly non-discriminatory character with respect to gender issues.

Euratom 2005-6 – Fixed deadline Coordination Actions ENEN-II Appendix A – A.1 Consortium Description Partner 1 ENEN – The European Nuclear Education Network Association The temporary network, established through the European 5 th Framework Programme project ENEN, was given a more permanent character by the foundation of the European Nuclear Education Network Association, a non-profit-making association according to the French law of 1901, pursuing a pedagogic and scientific aim. The organisation has its legal registered office in the premises of INSTN on the site of CEA Saclay. Its Mission, objectives and structure were formulated in the Statutes (See Appendix B), following the conclusions and recommendations of 5 th FP ENEN Project, with as its main objective the preservation and the further development of higher nuclear education and expertise. This objective is realized through the co-operation between the European universities, involved in education and research in the nuclear engineering field, the nuclear research centres and the nuclear industry. To achieve this objective, the ENEN Association has to: - Promote and further develop the collaboration in nuclear engineering education of engineers and researchers needed by the nuclear industry and the regulatory bodies; - Ensure the quality of nuclear academic engineering education and training; - Increase the attractiveness for engagement in the nuclear field for students and young academics. The basic objectives of the ENEN Association are to: - Deliver a European Master of Science Degree in Nuclear Engineering and promote PhD studies; - Promote exchange of students and teachers participating in the frame of this network; - Increase the number of students by providing incentives; - Establish a framework for mutual recognition; - Foster and strengthen the relationship with research laboratories and networks, industry and regulatory bodies, by involving them in nuclear academic education and by offering continuous training. The ENEN association is managed by a Board of Directors, elected by the General Assembly and the work is organised through a Management Committee. The management committee is constituted by the Secretary General, appointed by the Board of Directors, and the Chairmen of the five different working committees, which are dedicated to specific tasks in order to realise the dissemination and management of knowledge. The strategy followed to achieve the aims of the ENEN Association includes: - Discussion on educational objectives, methods and course contents among the members and with external partners, particularly national and European industries; - Organisation of internal audits on the quality of nuclear engineering curricula; - Awarding the label of “European Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering” to the curricula satisfying the criteria set up by the ENEN Association; - Cooperation between the members, and with the research centres and the nuclear industry for enhancement of mobility of teachers and students, organisation of training and advanced courses, use of large research and teaching facilities or infrastructures; - Cooperation with international and national governmental institutions, agencies and universities; Annex I Description of Work - page 83 of 124
