Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The GENTLE project is a pan-European effort in the field of education and training (E&T) on Nuclear Energy. It brings together leading European academic and research institutions with the goal to set up a life-long learning programme, strongly supported by stakeholders from industry. GENTLE focuses on two E&T domains: (a) the education of students by means of student research experiences in the nuclear laboratories, and intersemester courses on special topics that are generally not part of the academic curriculum, (b) the high-level training of young professionals by an Executive master course (60 ECTS) on Nuclear Energy, accredited by one of the participating academic institution. These tools will strongly impact on the education and training quality in Europe as they broaden the scope of interest to industry and safety organisations, and give the student better opportunities to obtain hands-on experience in high level nuclear research. This will help the European industry to consolidate its leading position in the international market. In addition, to the inter-consortium collaboration, GENTLE will actively coordinate E&T efforts in the domain and will initiate a dialogue with the associated stakeholders from industry on nuclear E&T in Europe, to steer its own E&T programme but also to advice the European Commission and EU member states. GENTLE is thus a holistic approach to training and education on nuclear energy and is complementary to the ongoing efforts in Europe.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
There is demand for a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce in the nuclear power sector in Europe. An EU initiative is answering this need by helping to deliver top education and training (E&T) in the nuclear field.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The need for highly educated and skilled nuclear engineers and scientists in industry, research, technical safety and governmental organisations is greater than ever. However, a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reveals that more effort is needed to improve nuclear E&T capabilities.
With EU funding, the 'Graduate and executive nuclear training and lifelong education' (http://www.gentleproject.eu/ (GENTLE)) project is bringing together leading European academic and research institutions to establish a lifelong learning programme in nuclear energy that will be supported by industry stakeholders.
The project offers student mobility grants for up to 24 months. These student research experiences (SREs) enable participants to carry out experimental research on nuclear topics and gain practical experience in academic, research and industrial laboratories throughout Europe. The SREs have gained the attention of learners in various nuclear programs and are increasingly popular. So far, 27 SRE proposals have been accepted, and the rate of applications is increasing.
Graduate and doctoral students and young professionals can attend short intersemester courses (ISCs) on chosen nuclear topics. ISCs normally last for one week and are designed to provide specialised knowledge in subjects that are not studied in depth in traditional nuclear classes. A set of eight ISCs have been designed and courses in nuclear safeguards and security and nuclear data were successfully held in 2014.
Lastly, project partners are developing modular training course in nuclear energy systems. This course is for young professionals that intent to start a career in the nuclear sector.
By attracting high-quality students and young professionals from all over the world, GENTLE intends to help Europe preserve its leading position in nuclear fission technology.
