ENEN
CNE Representative: Dr Matt Eaton
The “European Nuclear Engineering Network”
project was launched under the 5th framework
EC programme in January 2002. It established
the basis for conserving nuclear knowledge and
expertise, created a European Higher Education
Area for nuclear disciplines, and initiated
the implementation of the Bologna declaration
in nuclear disciplines. The European Nuclear
Education Network (ENEN) Association was established
afterwards on the basis of the European
Higher Education Area by the partners of
the “European Nuclear Engineering Network”
project. The general objectives of the ENEN Association
are:
»»
to develop a more harmonized
approach for education in the nuclear
sciences and nuclear engineering in
Europe;
»»
to integrate European education and
training in nuclear safety and radiation
protection; and
»»
to achieve better co-operation and
sharing of academic resources and
capabilities at the national and
international level.
Our very own Dr Christopher Cooling was one
of three winners of the 9 th ENEN PhD Prize. The
prize is given to the best three presentations
and accompanying papers on the subject matter
of the competitors PhD theses. The event
was held in Nice and is a European-wide competition.
The prize is €1000 to go towards attending
an international conference and this
was the first time a student based in the UK has
won.
