Specialised courses in nuclear energy will be provided to cities in 18 European countries via the internet, under a new agreement.
The agreement was signed in Vienna, Austria, on 26 June 2009 between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN).
Training will be delivered through the IAEA’s web portal (the Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology – ANENT). Since its launch in 2003, ANENT has helped to coordinate nuclear training and research by linking educators and professionals. The system supports students in degree and masters programmes.
Since 2007, two certificate e-training courses on energy planning have been conducted in cooperation with the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute.
There are also plans to use the ANENT system to deliver information on nuclear reactor physics to university students, as well as provide an ‘e-textbook’ on advanced nuclear and ionising radiation technology.
Information about ENEN is available on the network’s website
