EU best practices-based education in Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Culture for the Belarusian Academia
| About |
1. Goal:
promoting education and training in the field of radiation protection and nuclear safety culture in the Republic of Belarus through the development and implementation of educational programs at six universities of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the EU's best practices in the field of compliance with international standards, thereby contributing to the safe use of nuclear energy in Europe.
2. To promote a qualified education in Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Culture (RP&NSC) in Belarus, the RADIUM partners will:
- Map the Belarus Nuclear Safety Standards, labor market needs & educational proposals and develop a Policy Paper that take into account the EU best practices and international standards;
- Train the Belarus’s academic staff in Nuclear Physics & Chemistry, Radiation Protection, Nuclear Safety Culture at EU Higher Education Institutions;
- Design and implement the “RADIUM” Master, in line with Bologna principles, in cooperation with EU partners, accredited by the Belarus’s Ministry of Education and adopted throughout the Country.
100 Belarusian students will attend four 2-weeks summer schools at the EU partner Universities to test the topics in which the EU HEIs are specialized and contributed to develop for the new RADIUM master: nuclear safety, natural radiation, waste management, radiation protection, radiation Physics and nuclear chemistry.
Similarly, a winter school will be held in Minsk to assess RADIUM Master program by involving 2 students and 1 professors from each of the EU partner HEIs.
Moreover, dissemination and exploitation activities, quality assurance procedures and management process support the overall design and implementation of RADIUM project.
