Education and training activities of the SCK CENAcademy for Nuclear Science and TechnologyMichèle Coeck, N. Kesteloot, T. Clarijsmcoeck@sckcen.be http://academy.sckcen.beIAEA third international conference on Nuclear Knowledge Management, November 7-11 2016,Vienna, Austria SCK CEN Academy
SCK CENBelgian Nuclear Research Centre 1952: cradle of nuclear research, applications and energydevelopment in Belgium 60 years later: international player in the field of nuclear R&D 700 staff, 50% with academic degree 70 PhD students Mission: 3 major scientific research areas: Nuclear materials sciences Advanced nuclear systems Environment, health and safety Services towards industry, healthcare,government Education and training2 SCK CEN Academywww.sckcen.be
Knowledge management & transfer key to SCK CENMore visibility to E&T since 2012: SCK CEN AcademyBecause of: More than 60 years of experience in nuclear research andtechnology Most recent knowledge and development Innovative projects Availability of large and unique nuclear installationsSCK CEN is, next to renowned research centre, ideally suited to bean education and training (E&T) centre: SCK CEN Academy: coordinates all E&T activities at SCK CEN SCK CEN Academy

SCK CEN Academy4 pillars Guidance young researchers Thesis (PhD, Master, Bachelor level), post-docs, internships, educationalvisits Organization of courses and events Contribution to academic learning in collaboration with universities Customized training for professionals Workshops/conferences/topical days/ Policy support on E&T matters (through networking) EC Framework programs, Horizon2020, expert groups of IAEA, OECD, . Caring for critical-intellectual capacities for society Scientific/technical context! (philosophical, ethical, economical,political, ) SCK CEN Academy
Pillar 1 – Guidance for young researchers Support STEM in high schools Guided thematic tours for high school pupils Support for their teachers (educational material, CPD initiatives, ) Other outreach activities towards pupils (and general public) University students Guided technical tours Supervising Bachelor/Master thesis work Internships for students Post-docs and PhD program Young professionals Scientific visits “Belgian Nuclear Career Day” for students and young professionals:highlight study career perspectives in nuclear SCK CEN Academy
Pillar 2 - Organization of courses and eventsTopics Academic courses: collaborations with universities BNEN (Belgian Nuclear higher Engineering Network) Radiation Protection Expert Others Customised training courses/open courses/project courses/(internship) Radiation protection Nuclear technology Nuclear emergency management Radiation biology, -ecology, microbiology Decommissioning and decontamination Waste and disposal Safeguards and security and any topic SCK CEN performs research on Events for information exchange Conferences, workshops, topical days, on SCK CEN R&D topics SCK CEN Academy
Target public Nuclear industryMedical sectorNon-nuclear industry (radiographers, NORM, )Governmental organizationsPolicy organizationsThe academic worldThe general public Students, professionals In Belgium and international (i.e. European Commission, IAEA) SCK CEN Academy
Approach Lecturers Team of engineers, physicists, technicians, biologists, occupationalphysicians, social scientists, bring insight and ideas from their specificexpert field Solid knowledge and experience in their field, good didactic qualities Programme All programmes tailored to needs of customer; flexibility in dates, duration,level, location, In Dutch, French or English Venue Technical domain of SCK CEN or premises of customer (Towards e-learning/distance learning) Visits Research reactors and laboratories: possible to integrate in the trainingcourses SCK CEN Academy
Quality Assurance SCK CEN received the Qfor quality label for training institutes inDecember 2010, renewal in 2013 and 2016 Lecturers follow “training facilitator” course, to update andimprove didactic skills.10 SCK CEN Academy
Pillar 3 - Policy support and networking International common needs Basic education and training providing the required level ofunderstanding and competences A standard for the recognition of skills and experience Actions Harmonisation of training practice and skills recognition, throughinternational networks and national programmes Coherent approach crucial in world of dynamic markets and workers’mobility SCK CEN collaborates in EC framework programmes (7FP ENETRAP III, TRASNUSAFE, GENTLE,PETRUS III, H2020 ANNETTE, ), (ad-hoc) working groups of BVS-ABR (national), OECD, IAEA, Senior Advisory Group of EHRO-N ENEN Association SCK CEN Academy
International collaborations Practical arrangement with IAEA (september 2015) For cooperation in education and training of nuclear professionals Chairing ETKM task force of ENS/FORATOM Framework agreement with CEA-INSTN (september 2016) Organization of the CERN Summer School in Computing(August-September 2016) First contacts with ESA Education and WNU Specific topic of attention: access to facilities12 SCK CEN Academy
Pillar 4 – Transdisciplinary aspects Understanding the benefits and risks of radioactivity requires Scientific and technical insight and training An insight in the context and a sense for the societal andphilosophical aspects of the situation Pioneering a unique critical-reflexive approach Two specific training modules are available to support courses Ethical aspects of the radiological risk Nuclear technology assessment Organization of reflection groups Aim Creating awareness of the complexity of nuclear issues Development of contextual and ethical reasoning as a relevant skill SCK CEN Academy
In conclusion E&T initiatives from SCK CEN Academy are fed directly fromSCK CEN’s research output, experience and expertise Maintain and increase nuclear competences (knowledge, skills,attitudes) for students and professionals ; and increase awarenessfor pupils and general public Tailored to needs of the learner (multiple application fields, broadlevels of understanding, ages, ) Attention for transdisciplinarity and societal aspects next toscientific/technical aspects In European/international framework14 SCK CEN Academy
