PILOT COURSE PROGRAMME
Most of the courses to be delivered have been already collected, together with their detailed Learning Outcomes. Their complete list and programme is progressively being made public.
The main characteristic of the courses are the following:
- most of the courses are modular (to be delivered in one or two weeks), in order to favour attendance of professionals or young researchers having limited time each year to devote to their lifelong learning (LLL) process;
- they will be delivered at different course provider locations, to make use of the richness of experience accumulated in Europe in relation to nuclear disciplines;
- some courses will be delivered at least partly by e-learning;
- a few Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are planned, on key subjects;
- the main period for delivering courses will be from June 2018 to June 2019, though some courses offered by the stakeholders of the ANNETTE project are anticipated (CONCERT Courses, see below);
- the pilot courses delivered during the project will be evaluated at the end of the project;
- a Summer School, organised by Aalto University, will be held in Turku, Finland, on 24-30 June 2018; the Summer School will be structured in plenary lectures and three parallel tracks, for Nuclear Safety / Technology (Fusion and Fission), Radiation Protection, Waste Management and Geological Disposal; the latter track will include the traditional PETRUS PhD Event;
- recognition of the LLL process of each learner is planned through certifications released by Course Providers and by the European Nuclear Education Network;
- NO COURSE FEE is applied for participants through the ANNETTE portal
- POSSIBLE SUPPORT FOR MOBILITY for participation in the courses can be asked to the ENEN+ project on a competitive basis at the website https://plus.enen.eu/grants/, though we cannot guarantee a priori acceptance of the request.
